I ordered two cream leather Suffolk seats for my Morris Minor Series 11 convertible and Im absolutely delighted with them. The quality is excellent and they are very comfortable. I feel much safer having a headrest and everyone comments on how good they look. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

I have bought four different Newton Commercial products for my '97 MGF over about twenty years. All fitted well, look good, are still in service, trouble-free and in excellent condition. The company is approachable, informative and reliable -I won't hesitate to use them again.

Only the best from Newton Commercial. Installed their "narrow weave" carpet in my 72 Karmann Ghia Coupe, and it looks and feels lovely! Great quality, cannot recommend them enough. The response from them was lightning fast and very friendly. Can't wait for the next purchase.
