heard anything yet mate

Hi Lal.

Nothing, from either place...

For pity's sakes

I emphasised that at least three peeps were after hoods, with possibly more to come.

You'd think...

Hi Lal.

I've just had a reply from Simon at Aldridge.

Estimate: £360+vat (£423) in double duck, and £490+vat (£575) in mohair. They'll need an existing hood to take patterns from.

It's beginning to look like £400+ is the going rate for these hoods manufactured from scratch in d-d. I doubt anyone is going to come in significantly less than this.

Aldridge are certainly a pro outfit, specialising in Jaguar refits, and also come highly recommended by our own Hugo!

They recommend the mohair over the d-d due to it being colour-fast. Personally, this wouldn't be a problem for me as my car (whenever it gets on the road...) would be garaged when not in use, so I doubt it would suffer from colour fade!

I'll chase up the other - localish - manufacturer.

donnie do you know if that is with the door tops or some sort of sides

Hi Lal.

I'm sure that's just the top itself. Expect sidescreens to be around £150-ish each over that...
