On the occasions that you open the Boot Trunk hatch – this fuel tank board becomes immediately obvious to onlookers. Often warped and damaged – do not let this part let your car down – replace it with a John Skinners kit, either to original specifications, or upgrade the finish to a carpet covered panel and be the envy of our TR enthusiasts.

After the Giovanni Michelotti redesigns of the early 1960s – the Trunk area, or “Boot” as us Brits call it, was also overhauled due to changes in the bodywork tub and fuel/petrol tank. The concept of the panel remained the same as the earlier TR2-3B models – with a millboard panel covering the bulkhead of the Boot / Trunk area directly behind the main fuel tank. Again, this was supplied as standard in a black surface grain finish – imitating the look of leather. This Panel remained consistent for all the TR4, TR4A (IRS) and TR250 models – but differed for the Petrol/Fuel Injected “P.I” systems of the short production run TR5 models. For the TR5 models, the panel was slightly wider with a creased element to the board allowing it to bend around and cover the fuel pump which was positioned in the left wheel arch fender area.

John Skinner Ltd has used the same templated design based on the original panel for decades – supplying tens of thousands of these over the years.  John has himself owned various TRs over the years, including his treasured TR5 which he still owns – so we have tried and tested these specific parts first hand. We offer it in the pre-cut black grain-faced millboard material – as per the original factory production line cars. We can also offer a more premium option as part of our JS Bespoke range – where we upholster this millboard in Vinyl, Nylon or Wool – giving the whole Boot area a more luxury look and feel.

You should consider the floor Mat and Side Panel Kit in conjunction with this Boot Liner Board to achieve the best results when restoring your Boot Trunk area of your Triumph TR.
