Donald A Berghamn upholstery

Donald A · Jun 2nd, 2024, 14:32

I am new to this!
I have a 2003 v70 S ie the 2.4 normally aspirated 140 bhp model
Can anyone tell me whether the Berghamn grey velour upholstery is still made, and where I can buy it - it is torn and it would be nice to redo the front seats
I have tried Volvo UK but they are completely disinterested, which, considering I have had Volvo estates (145,245,740,year 2000 v70, successively ) is not impressive

You're looking for cloth to supply your upholsterer?
An industrial upholstery shop was near me and had uncountable samples in swatch books.
For example, they had leather swatches and dead-matching vinyl examples. It's what my Volvo got.
They maintained SEPTA (think Philadelphia) busses and moved closer.

Unique Auto Trimming 01372 450076 might be worth a call. I just Googled car upholstery in Leatherhead.

They don't have a website but I suspect they will be a better bet than Volvo.

Good luck.

Thanks for that - I will try them
Has anyone tried phoning Sweden HQ ….. with any success?!

I'd bet few, if any, have attempted contacting HQ.

Give it a go and see.
I bet they'll tell you pre-made replacement seat coverings are available or not.
I also bet, unless you find an example of NOS (New Old Stock), you'll be directed to find your own cloth.....not the worst thing.

Years ago, I sat in the only 70 series I've ever seen with cloth seats and remember liking them very much. They were velour and had a high knap.

There were three upholstery & top shops near me at one time. I suppose the 'tradesmen die-out' is occurring where you are too.
