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
Dark Blue
AH Blue
Bright Red
Cherry Red
Matador Red
Ivory
Sand
Parchment
Light Stone Beige

Biscuit Light Tan
CUSTOM COLOURS/COMBINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE
Note that we can also offer a variety of custom “non-original” shades if you prefer, or offer contrasting beading/piping for 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 supply the re-trim kit for the Centre Console area in either Vinyl (Ambla), Leathercloth (Vynide) or Leather.
What material is original for this model of car?
Many cars of this era left the factory with Leathercloth (Vynide) covered panels. This material is often referred to as “Rexine” in the original parts books and restoration guides. We can offer these parts in the original Leathercloth material; please be aware that there is a limited colour range available in this material. Unless specifically instructed we would standardly manufacture this part in Vinyl rather than Leathercloth.
Do you offer different qualities of materials?
No, here at JSM we always maintain using the best quality raw materials available to us in the colour range we offer. This applies to our Vinyls (Ambla), Leathercloths (Vynide), and Leathers. Please note that we do offer two different styles of “finish” when it comes to the Leather. The quality is the same, but the finish is slightly different. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Can this kit be supplied in Leather, or is it too thick?
Yes. JSM have an in-house leather skiving machine which allows us to offer pre-thinned leather parts for suitable areas of the car.
Are any replacement panels includes in this kit?
No. This is purely a Re-Trim Kit for recovering your original parts. We pre-cut the materials to an oversized version of the part, which allows for easier fitment.
Is any foam included in this kit?
Yes. We include pre-cut 3mm scrim-backed nylon foam for the side “L” panels as well as the main “wine-bottle” top-section.
What glue should I use for this area?
We would recommend using a high strength contact adhesive. This should be a spreadable glue, not an aerosol spray glue. We can provide this for UK and European based customers if required.
Does this kit include the piping for the area below the Dash Facia “Switches” Panel?
Yes, we provide pre-cut and sewn piping for this area.
Does this kit includes materials for the “Radio / Speaker” area of the car?
Yes, there is a pre-cut square of material for this area.
Does this kit include material for the Dash Board Facia “Switches” Panel?
No, this area is sold separately.
Is this kit different between Phase 1 and Phase 2 models?
Originally, yes. The Phase 1 models had longer Centre Consoles. However, we manufacture the kit to be suitable for both versions of the BJ8.
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)
UK: £10.50 – £30 per box
Europe & European Union: £20 – £150 per box
North America & Canada: £28.50 – £160 per box
Rest of World: £50.00 – £400 per box
Generally speaking, a complete car interior kit (Trim Panels, Carpets, Seat Covers, Boot/Trunk area, Soft Top Hoods etc) normally requires 2 x FULL Size Boxes, with some cars needing slightly less, and some slightly more.

🇪🇺 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.
