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 Carpets Sets for this model of car in Tufted Nylon, Karvel (Ribbed), or Deluxe Woven Wool. Note that the Nylon and Wool options have a rubber backing, whereas the Karvel has a hessian backing. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
What material is original for this model of car?
Austin Healey models left the factory with Karvel for the main cockpit carpeted areas. This material is “ribbed” pile carpet with a hessian backing. The ribs originally went from left to right across the width of the car. Note that there are limited shades available for Karvel. There is a much wider selection of colours available in Deluxe Woven Wool and Nylon. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Are these carpets edged?
Yes – we edge our carpets kits using Leathercloth (Vynide) binding, where available. Not all edges are bound; some are raw edges – but these are normally hidden during the fitting process under adjacent edged pieces or panels. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Where Austin Healey Carpets originally edged?
This is a subject of much debate amongst enthusiasts, and due to the very inconsistent original factory production lines, and their poor record keeping – it is hard to say 100% for sure. JSM will standardly edge their carpet kits, unless explicitly instructed not to by our customers.
Is the hole for the Gear Stick Lever pre-cut?
Yes. For the BN4 models and the BT7 models with the Side Shift / Change Gearbox (approx Pre 15,880) – the Gear Lever Hole is pre-cut and has a pre-sewn material finish around the opening.
Do we offer a kit with the Centre Cushion Armrest pre-attached to the Carpet?
No. These items are sold separately, and it is recommended that you attached this Armrest when in-situ and fitting the parts to ensure the best positioning in the car.
Do the carpets have a pre-cut hole for the ashtray?
No. These holes are best cut in-situ when fitting the carpet to the car, to achieve the most accurate fit.
What are the pre-cut loose materials pieces for?
We include pre-cut loose pieces of material for re-covering various bodywork areas related to carpet pieces. These should be glued to the actual body metalwork of the car in the applicable areas – thus hiding any metalwork in areas where the carpet is not present. For example, we include a piece of material to cover the bodywork surrounding the handbrake lever.
Do the Rear Floor Carpets include pre-cut slots for the Seat Runners?
Yes. We pre-cut the Seat Runner slots into the carpet, and edge these accordingly.
Are the carpets supplied with Heelpads?
Yes, we supply pre-glued and sewn Rubber Heelpads on the both Front Floor Carpet. According to our records, all the BN2 to BJ8 models featured heelpads on both the driver and passenger side Front Floors. Certain records indicate that some cars left the factories with heelpads only on the Drivers Side front floor – if you wish for this option – just mention this to us when to come to confirm the order. These rubber heelpads include the “Austin” text in the centre of them.
Do I need an under-carpet felt kit (underfelt kit)?
Yes. we recommend fitting an underfelt kit, which we can provide. Note that these felt kits are designed not only to reduce heat and sound – but they were also essential to ensure the best fit and finish of the associated carpet pieces. Even if you have a modern-day version of heat and sound deadening kit already fitted – we strongly recommend ensuring you have a certain thickness of material underneath the carpets to ensure the best fit. See our Materials & Colours section for more information.
Are the carpet fixings included and pre-fitted to the carpets?
No. We can supply the correct carpet fixings for these cars – but these are sold separately. It is also worth noting that pre-inserted fixings are not recommend – it is a much better idea to insert these when you come to fit your carpets in your car, to ensure the best positioning and fitment.
Does this carpet kit include the materials for around the Rear Seats?
Yes. We include pre-cut materials for the Rear Shelf area where the Rear Seats are situated. This includes material that flows down to cover the Lower Bulkhead area, as well as materials to cover the body metalwork in the wheelarch areas, which was original for some models. Here at JSM we like to cover all bases with the kits we supply – and therefore we sometimes end up over-supplying meaning you may end up with more materials than you actually require, This gives you ultimate flexibility to pick and choose the desired finish.
Does this kit include the Carpet for the underdash parcel tray?
Yes. This carpet piece is included in the kit. Note that the pre-sewn material surround to re-cover the actual metal tray is not included in the Carpet Set. Please view the Parcel Tray Re-Trim Kit or the Trim Panel Kit for more options.

🇪🇺 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.
