Please note that the colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd names, not necessarily the names Austin Healey originally used for these colours.
Due to industry-wide inconsistencies in production and record-keeping, it is widely accepted that the interpretation of original shades varies depending on who you ask. As a result, John Skinner Ltd offers multiple “original” shade options for you to make your final choice from. Below is a list of these accepted “original” colour choices that John Skinners can offer for your Healey restoration project.
Black Armacord
Dark Blue Armacord
Red Armacord
Suede Green Armacord
Biscuit Armacord
Beige Armacord
CUSTOM COLOURS/COMBINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE
Note that we can also offer a variety of custom “non-original” shades if you prefer a more bespoke finish. For a full and complete list of options please view our Materials & Colours library.
SAMPLES/COLOUR CONFIRMATIONS
As part of the ordering process, we will arrange for samples to be sent for final confirmation – so browse and shop with complete peace of mind, knowing that we will guide you through step-by-step with all the information you require.
Please note that all materials are subject to colour shade differences between production batches. There may be subtle differences in colour shading between sample cuttings and final production material.
What materials are available?
We can manufacture Boot Trunk Lining kits in either Armacord (Ribbed), Tufted Nylon, Karvel (Ribbed), or Deluxe Woven Wool. Note that the Nylon and Wool options have a rubber backing, whereas the Armacord a felt backing and Karvel has a hessian backing. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
What material is original for this model of car?
Austin Healey models left the factory with Armacord for lining the Boot / Trunk area of the car. This is a felt-backed plastic material with an embossed rib pattern. The ribs originally went from left to right across the width of the car. Note that there are limited shades available for ribbed Armacord. There is a much wider selection of colours available in Deluxe Woven Wool and Nylon. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
What was the original colour used for this part, when it left the original factory production line?
The large majority of BN6 and BN7 models would have left with Black. Although the factory production line records are notoriously inconsistent, it appears some models may have left with self-coloured trim i.e. matching the main trim colour, where available.
This kit edged?
Yes – certain sections of this Boot Trunk Kit are edged. We do this using Leathercloth (Vynide) binding, where available. Some other elements of the kit are pre-sewn material flaps that are then used to trim and anchor to the plywood backing board. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information. It should be noted that originally the Healeys left with “hand-rolled” binding edges; which we do not offer. Machine-rolled edges (which we provide) offers a much neater and professional looking finish; whereas hand-rolled edges can look baggy with inconsistent stitches left exposed.
Does this kit include the plywood backing board?
Yes. Once the Boot Trunk Mat material has been edged and sew, it is trimmed to a two-piece plywood base. This includes a functional storage box access flap on the left side.
Does this kit include the Millboard Side Panels and Spare Wheel Surround Panel?
Yes. We include a pre-cut and creased Fibreboard/Millboard Panels for Side Areas and Spare Wheel Opening on the Bulkhead. This is standardly supplied in Black Leather-Grained Millboard material, for our Black Armacord Kits, which is in line Concours Judging recommendations. Any non-Black kits would have these pieces supplied and trimmed in the best matching Vinyl (Ambla) material.
Does the kit include the pre-cut holes for the Petrol Fuel Filler Pipe?
Yes. This is pre-cut and the opening is edged.
Does this kit include the Spare Wheel Cover?
No, the Spare Wheel Cover kit is sold separately.

🇪🇺 EU Shipments / Brexit 🇪🇺
As of January 2021, the UK is no longer part of the European Union (EU). As a result, several changes have been implemented which affects how EU based customers now purchase products from the UK.
It is not as problematic and complicated as people say. John Skinner Ltd sends hundreds of shipments to the EU; and rarely do we encounter any issues at all; and this is due to us working closely with our shipping agents to offer two choices that help to simplify the process for you.
You now have 2 Options you can choose from for shipping John Skinner products to the EU:
============
Option 1: Standard International Shipping
This is the ‘standard’ method of purchasing items from the UK, since the UK left the EU (‘Brexit’).
You will pay John Skinner Ltd for 1) the parts ordered, and 2) the shipping cost to ship from the UK to your address.
You will NOT be charged UK VAT (20% Tax). (Before Brexit, you would have been charged UK VAT @ 20%).
Once your parts ship, you will be contacted directly by our shipping agent (normally DHL), who will request payment from you for 1) Your Local Country Tax based on the value of the John Skinner Invoice, 2) a small admin fee (normally around €15). Once this is paid, your goods are released from customs and delivered to your address.
You will NOT be charged any Duties/Tariffs. All the parts we supply are made by John Skinner Ltd in the UK, and we provide all the correct paperwork & documentation and sign declarations to ensure that no Duties/Tariffs apply to our goods. (This is often the part that most people get confused by with Brexit – they assume that anything they buy from the UK incurs Duties/Tariff charges – our products are 0% Duty/Tariff rated).
Note that this shipping option is the default choice offered when Jonathon is raising your initial Quote; if you wish to discuss the second option (see below) – then just mention this to Jonathon once he has made direct contact with you about your enquiry.
============
Option 2: Prepaid Duties & Taxes *** VERY POPULAR OPTION ***
To simplify the purchasing process, you can choose our Prepaid Duties & Taxes option.
This process is becoming the most popular option for our EU customers as it makes everything very simple and straightforward, akin to how it was before the UK left the EU.
We will calculate & include all applicable import duties, taxes, and customs fees in your order total – and everything is paid up front to John Skinner Ltd.
Once the parts are ready and are shipped – you will NOT pay any additional costs, or have to do anything more – your order will be delivered to your address as normal. Our shipping agent (normally DHL) pays the Local Country Tax on behalf of John Skinner Ltd and they Invoice us for this later. This ensures that you won’t face any unexpected charges upon delivery, and your order will clear customs smoothly and quickly.
You can enjoy a more streamlined shopping experience with this option; like Brexit never even happened.
If you are interested in this option, please let Jonathon know once he has contacted you directly with your updated Quote via email; and he can update the Quote accordingly to reflect this choice.
