Coach Built Prams
Watch this postHi fellow Silver Surfers ! I am new here and would like to introduce both myself and my interests ! I am 64 years old and a retired financial adviser (circa 30 years!) I now spend my free time restoring Silver Cross vintage prams. I particularly love the twin prams. It all started with the arrival of my first grandchild some 10 years ago. I was shocked by the both the price of the current models available and the quality. They are just not the same as they once were ! Upon investigation, I discovered that the Silver Cross went out of business in the 1980's. Different manufacturers have bought the right to continue with a limited range but try hard to move away from the "built to last" approach...like so many other products. If you have pram that you are want to re home or have restored, then please contact me as I would love to hear from you, particularly if you have a hardbodied twin pram

I am hoping to continue a thread posted by PrelovedPrams last year, but not sure if this will end up in the correct place so here goes!
I have a vintage Silver Cross pram I bought new for my own children in the 1970’s and I would like it to be restored and not turned to scrap. I have used it for previous grandchildren, but sadly, it is now in a bad state after being stored in a corrugated iron shed. It would be great if I could use it again, but think it might be too costly to restore.
I look forward to viewing your comments.
