profiled, car dust covers, trading as QCC in Cheshire. We rang him on 01606 557728 and he told
us he could make a cover for an Austin 7 ( or indeed for any other make and
model of car). All covers, which are machine washable and can be tumble
dried, are made to order. We placed an order and he said “ if you are
completely satisfied with the cover when it arrives, you might like to send
me a cheque”! Two days later the cover arrived and is indeed just
perfect. What an excellent service. Des and Bridget
