Despite the radical changes to the overall look and design of the TR4 models when compared with its predecessor – many of the basic concepts remained in place. The cubby box, situated on the passenger side of the dash facia assembly panel was one of these features which were carried over from the TR3A era. Due to the re-design of the dash and console area – the “glove” box cubby assembly was different in shape to the earlier TR versions – with a smaller, square-shaped design favoured for the TR4 models. Unlike the earlier glove box units – which were supplied in a similar shade to the main interior trim colour – the Gloveboxes fitted to the TR4 to TR6 were always in supplied in black, and were not flocked either – instead being supplied in a grained millboard material, regardless of the main trim colour. This overall design was maintained throughout the TR production era up until the end of the TR6s; although a slight alteration was made for the TR5/250 & TR6 models to allow for the newly introduced interior light.

Our gloveboxes are templated using the original factory designs – and have been tried and tested for decades on thousands of cars around the world. John Skinner himself has owned multiple TRs in his life, and so knows first hand of the suitability to purpose and fit of his own products. We use the correct thickness millboard material and supply these fully riveted to shape, ready to be fitted to the car. We commonly supply these parts in the original black grain faced millboard, but as part of our JS Bespoke range – we can now offer these cubby boxes in a flocked finish in a limited number of shades. Our knowledge of these parts and decades of experience in manufacturing these parts has made John Skinner Ltd the industry benchmark in quality and finish for your Triumph TR interior trim panels.
