Carpets for a Black 1946 P2 16 hp Sports Saloon

Hello Folks
I live in Berkhamsted, Herts.
I want to get my shabby old brown carpets replaced in my Black 1946 Rover P2 16 hp Sports Saloon - otherwise almost fully restored and re-engineered.
A couple of years ago I got a quote from Hukes in Hemel Hempstead for about £600-00.
Does that sound reasonable? They did a perfect job on renovating the 2 front seats.
I do not think I could make a good job of it myself.
Does anyone know of another firm - for a second quote - in my viscinity whom they would recommend or a supplier who would supply to the pattern of my old carpets for me to fit?
But then there are the awkward bits in the foot well and round the base of the back seats.
Comments and advice welcome.
