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.”

One of our latest customers enquired about custom covering for a pair of Porsche seats from a 966 so that they could match in with his volkswagon camper exterior colours, the request was to use navy leather on the outsides and powder blue leather for the inner inserts, we considered all of the options and we also decided to advise our customer that yellow stitching would be the best option to contrast the retrim work, especially as you will see from the pictures below there was another request of applying flowers to the seat leather. if you have any requests on custom leather interior upholstery in any vehicle then please call us on 01162787171 or email us sales@covertecsolutions.co.uk

The request for the interior trimming and leather upholstery in this Wrangler Jeep was make it bright and make it mine and i want it black and orange leather, so that’s what we did, the colour and grain of the orange used could not be purchased off the shelf from leather suppliers but we have a solution to that, to enable us to to retrim this vehicle we colour our own leather which is purchased as raw uncoloured hide and by applying our own colour mix of product onto the leather by hand we create our own skin of coloured leather hide, the black leather is standard auto hide. Our clients name is Maxine hence the MAX applied to the seat panels, the door cards needed to be constructed to get the level of orange trim required on them,we then applied the orange stitching to create the black and orange racy look. The headrests needed to be patterned and created as the original ones are blown moulded. The spare wheel had a wheel cover made for it to match the custom leather interior.

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.
