Motorsport race seat experts Real Essential, located in Berkshire is to partner with Leicester-based automotive trim specialists CoverTec Solutions to develop material covering options for race seat in-fills and associated applications. The result could mean expansion, new jobs and innovative world leading products being developed in the region.

 

Real Essential Managing Director, Vaughan Cartwright said: “We wanted to develop our leading seat-infill product range further by offering complete high-performance trimmed seating options without compromising on safety or comfort. CoverTec Solutions bring a combined 40 years of bespoke quality automotive trimming experience to the partnership. Their unique custom manufacturing experience means that together we can increase our development for motorsport seat-infill systems, as well as exploring the non-motorsport applications for this technology.” 

 

The UK is already at the heart of world motorsport with many of the teams based here. Seating systems are essential to driver comfort, safety and driving performance in all motorsport. The partnership hopes to develop a range of seating systems building on poly-bead resin technology. While the technology is born of motorsport innovation there are many other applications which the partnership will explore with the promise of new jobs and expansion.

 

Paul Hames of CoverTec Solutions said: “Innovation is what British firms do best. This is a great example of the collaboration of leading technology with years of traditional craftsmanship. The result will be market leading products that the quality people all over the world associate from British hand-crafted products.”

Our customer asked us to retrim his vw transporter van, he showed us a photograph of exactly what he wanted, the image included quilted leather sections and the general look was to be stated as Bentley style, the seats were stripped out and taken apart and then completely renovated to create the effect, the quilting size was patterned and we went ahead with the result shown in the photos below, the red leather chosen is the closest to the image that could be found, the retrimming of this vehicle was completed in about a week within our busy workshop based in wigston, leicester

Another custom interior recover finished by us at CoverTec Solutions, and the customer is over the moon with the result of his Subaru re-upholstery, it was explained that he wanted trim the interior seats in black leather outers with red alcantara inners, complete with red stitching to match the alcantara, we went ahead with what was required and redesigned the bespoke seating with subtle changes to the design to accommodate the new materials, although the car is one of the early models it has, that cared for appearance to it, so the new leather and alcantara trimming is a perfect compliment to the outer of the car, the car arrived at our workshop in Wigston, Leicester, on the Saturday ready for us to start work on Monday and was completed by the following Tuesday.

You Know How passionate you are about your treasured vehicle whether it be vintage or classic. You don’t want just anybody working on it.

Many of the skills involved in maintaining sports, vintage or classic machines are traditional trades. Skills handed down over generation and a minimum of 20 years experience and learning. There’s no quick fixes or short cuts to true quality. It’s what made Britain great, and it’s still there in those companies like CoverTec who have preserved a little of the heritage that made Britain the world’s first manufacturing super power.

At CoverTec we know trimming is an art that cannot be rushed.

It takes great skill, raw experience, and minute detail to transform and replace a vehicles interior with traditional hand crafted trimming. It’s a dying art that is rightly revered when executed at the highest level. If you doubt it sit in a new Aston Martin. Don’t trust anybody who tells you its a five minute job. Instead stand back and marvel as CoverTec transform your vehicle interior. You will see the skills that made Britain the undisputed leader in high quality trim – talent still respected around the world by discerning owners. And it doesn’t have to cost the earth when its right on your doorstep.

We think it’s like conducting all the skills in the orchestra to create a great symphony. From the careful choice of exactly the right choice of quality leather, fabric or specialist trim materials, to the stitching, personal detailing and finishing touches. It’s a personal specification and a personal service. you’ll be stunned with the result, and we’ll take pride in your reaction the very first moment you see your finished CoverTec retrim.

Call it old fashioned, call it quality in the slow lane. At CoverTec traditional British hand-crafted quality is alive and kicking. Come and experience it for yourself, or call to discuss your project now.

The Rally Show is a unique motorsport experience set in the spectacular grounds of Chatsworth House.

The show incorporates part of the former RAC Rally stage (to learn more about the rallying history of Chatsworth, click here) and turns it into a spectator-based event complete with all the thrills of special stage rallying, without the marathon walk through the woods!

There is no better place in the UK to enjoy the rallying experience with such perfect views of the action. Watch historic and World Rally Cars take on Chatsworth’s famous set pieces of rallying; the jump and the water splash. In 2008 over 15000 people were lucky enough to do just that.
