hi
the upholstery was done buy Alan at http://www.hawkehouse.co.uk/, in Gosport... he is fantastic.. The fabric has air vents to let the air out, when sat on, velcro openings ( no sticking zips )... he does all my cushions.... i think about £370-ish

Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
No, I wish I could find out, I have been searching ever since I got her and have seen many similar but none the same, she could well be a one off, the only info I have is from the previous owner and that she was built by a chap in 1957/58 by a chap in the Nottinghamshire area and that info was all he had been told when he got her. I have discovered from doing the restoration that who ever built her was very accurate with the tools and measurements.
