Been looking at the Manx maniac site. Anyone know who has the fabulous quilted pale blue interior buggy?  Who did the work , it's excelllent, old school quilted buttoning  ;-)up Anyone any experience how to line interiors.  How has anyone attached the linings to the buggy shell, if you know what I mean.  :)
Thanks in advance.

Not sure which one you mean without you posting a link, Peter's is a vast site.

The famous 'Boulevard Buggy' has got a white diamond stitched interior but that was done in Hollywood, California.

could try taking a template of the inside of the buggy ,, make part out of ply, 8mm or there abouts  could be used ,, get some  upholstery spay glue  ,some thin foam about 10 or 15 mm thick ,glue foam to ply trim around the edge ,, then glue the material  over the foam ,, pulling and shaping around the edges and gluing the excess to the back of the board,, and hey presto ,, padded trim for ya buggy   ;-)up,,more to it if you want dimonds

Pepsi,

There is a trimmer near us just off ennerdale road on Cleator moor. Ive not had any work done off him, but he has repaired front seats before for people I know and done a good job.

I will try and get contact detail for you.  ;-)up
