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.
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 the Quarter Panel Wheelarch Covers in either Vinyl (Ambla), or Leather.
What material is original for this model of car?
These Quarter Panel Wheelarch Covers would have more than likely left the factory with in a combination of Vinyl (Ambla) and Leathercloth (Vynide). As these panels feature a HF Welded embossed square pattern – Vinyl (Ambla) would have been used for this main section as this material embosses much better than Leathercloth (Vynide). The surrounding non-HF Welded parts would have been supplied in Leathercloth (Vynide). We standardly use Vinyl (Ambla) for all areas of this part, not Leathercloth (Vynide).
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.
What are the actual Panels made from?
We use 2.5mm Hardboard for the backing panels. This hardboard is pre-treated to improve its strength and water resistance. We have used this material for many years to good effect, and find it to be the most suitable material for this backing panel. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Can you offer the original square embossed pattern on these panels?
Yes. JSM are one of the few companies in the world that can offer the original square HF Weld embossed pattern as featured on the BJ8 models. Note that this pattern is only available for Vinyl (Ambla) versions of these panels.
Do these panels vary in shape between Phase 1 and Phase 2 models?
Yes. The hardboard Panels changed subtly between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 variations of this model. JSM can offer both Phase and Phase 2 designs. The bottom corner of the panel changed to accommodate the box-shaped carpeted section on the later Phase 2 models; for the mounting area of the rear axle radius arm.
Are these Panels pre-foamed?
Yes, the Quarter B Post Panels are pre-foamed using a 3mm scrim-backed nylon foam.
Do these panels feature pre-drilled holes and cut outs for the fixings etc?
Yes. We manufacture these panels to original specification – so any original holes are pre-cut. We pre-drill holes suitable for this style of clip around the perimeter of the panels, as per original specification. The hardboard panels also include pre-cut “pilot” guide holes for the Rear Seat Folding Shelf Door placement rods, and the Seat Belt holster.
Does the front edge of the Quarter Panel have the metalwork pre-attached?
Yes, our Quarter Panel Kits include the pre-formed shaped metalwork on the leading (front) edge of the Panel. This is attached to the hardboard Panel and covered with a material of your choosing.

🇪🇺 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.
