has anyone orderd from This Guy . His Prices are just too good to be true, both seats in leather, headrest with foam, and seat foams for under $700 US (440.5 British Pound Sterling) shipped. Vs Victoria British vinyl seats, with foams and headrest $789.65 + shipping.
 
looked at him, but have the high back seats, which he doesn't make covers for, so I was outta luck.

made my own
 
I placed an order with Owen back in May 2010 via Paypal.
I too was very hesitant to order from across the pond.... BUT, let me tell you I am extremely happy. It took about two weeks, because he makes everything to your specs. About two weeks after ordering, I received and email saying my order had shipped and the package arrived from DHL the following day, what a surprise.

Prior to ordering, I called him on the phone and that eased some of my concerns. I ordered the vinyl instead of the leather, with my total cost back then of about $440 (307.75 BPS) with new foams, headrests, clips and shipping. I'm putting those in my Spit and will order another set in leather for the gt6. As for the quality of the seats, I can only compare them to the OEM seats that they replaced, and they are superior to those. I've never seen the VB seats, so I cannot compare them.

I tried to find the seats locally, but the price difference was just too great to justify. Based on this one transaction I had with him, I will order again, and would recommend him to others. But if you have 30 minutes (he does like to talk), call him, it will make you feel better.
 
I ordered from him last year. Price, quality and service. He has all three. His instructions are easy to follow and he recommends using zip ties (supplied) instead of hog rings. This made for a nice easy and neat installation.
 
I ordered an upholstery kit, including the foams, for my Spit from him this summer. Top quality pieces and received my order in about 3 days.

When I had questions he was quick to respond with advice.

Another +1 for Owen at Park Lane Classics.

I ordered a trim panel set and some misc trim pieces from him about a year ago (Spitfire). He shipped them to my employer's London office wrapped in bubble wrap/craft paper and packed everything flat so I could take them home with me on the plane.

I called him, we chatted for 20 minutes and "Bob's your Uncle" as they say. Could not be happier with my purchase and the quality is truly superb.
