Despite various other internal changes to the interior trim and upholstery – the rear b post wheel arch assembly “Quarter Panels” remained relatively unchanged between the TR4A/TR5/TR250 and TR6 models. The only slight difference during this decade long production run was a change to the pattern embossed onto this panel. Still using the HF/RF welding (High-Frequency/Radio-Frequency) technique to emboss weld line patterns – the initial TR6 cars left with the exact same horizontal line pattern that had been used on the TR4A/TR5/TR250 models – with four lines at the top of the panel, and two lines lower down. In 1970 (around CP/CC 50k) this pattern was updated to just two single horizontal lines – which was continued until the production of the TR6s was ceased in 1976.

The panel for this B Post Assembly Quarter Panel left the factory upholstered in a grained finish unsupported PVC material – often confused with Vynide (Leathercloth) which was used elsewhere in the cars. Commonly these days, this material is superseded with Vinyl (Ambla), although Leathercloth (Vynide) is still available if requested (colour dependent). Very few cars, if any, would have left with Leather panels – and if they did, this would have been a special order item. Note when “Leather” is mentioned on the heritage certificates, this is often only referring to the Seats. See our FAQs for more information. As with the earlier versions of this panel – piping/beading was featured on the leading edge – but finished at the top corner, unlike the earlier versions where the piping went around the corner. The colour of the piping was always in the same colour as the main trim, for all TR6 models. It is worth keeping in mind that for the TR6 models with chassis numbers starting with “CR” or “CF” (approx 1973 onward) – Triumph updated some of their standard colour offerings for the Trim Panels and Seats to be supplied in an Ambla material with a heavy grain finish – commonly known to as “Rough Grain” (RG) – with others referring to it as “Bubble Grain / 1290 Grain”.

Our panels are templated using the original factory designs – and have been tried and tested for decades on thousands of cars around the world – with John himself owning and restoring various TRs over the years. We, at John Skinners, are also one of the only restorers in the world who can offer the original embossed HF pattern, which is a sentiment to our dedication to offering not only the best fitting items in the industry – but also the investment in the machinery and tooling to allow us to authentically reproduce the parts to the original specifications. In addition to this – we are also fully aware of the subtle, but essential difference in shape between the TR4 and TR4A/TR5/TR250/TR6 quarter panels. This attention to detail and in-depth knowledge, with first-hand experience of fitting these parts to the cars – further goes to illustrate why we are considered the leading interior trim manufacturers for Triumph TRs, and have been for over 40 years now.

DETAILS

  • Available in Leather, Vinyl (Ambla) or Leathercloth (Vynide).
  • Two options of automotive-grade leather available to choose from – “grained” or “smooth” surface finish.
  • With options for both the original embossed HF/RF patterns for the TR6 era – the “early” 6-line (4 upper & 2 lower) pattern; and the more commonly seen two-line horizontal pattern. John Skinners are one of the only manufacturers in the world to have the correct tooling for both of these styles.
  • Includes piping on the leading edge of the panel.
  • Backing boards are pre-cut on our in-house CNC machine using automotive-grade 2.55mm hardboard wood, allowing for the gentle curvature fitment to the car to be achieved.
  • Includes pre-drilled pilot holes on the backing panel for affixing to the bodywork of the car, as well as for the Seat Safety Belt mounting positions, and the hood frame mechanism mounting points.

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 Triumph restoration project.

Due to the range of products we offer, and our worldwide customer base, we can only calculate an accurate shipping cost once Your Enquiry/Quote has been received by Jonathon. As there is no payment required at this stage – use our Quote Builder in full confidence, with zero commitment to purchase – and send us your Quotation request for your interior trim requirements; and we will get in touch directly with you with an updated Quote, which will include the shipment costs.

In the meantime, basic guideline shipping costs are outlined below.

(For all non-UK shipments – the final price per box depends on the size of the box – which is dictated by the items in your final selection)

Europe & European Union: £20 – £150 per box

North America & Canada: £28.50 – £160 per box

Rest of World: £50.00 – £400 per box

🇪🇺 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.
