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, or offer contrasting binding edging 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 manufacture the Rear Deck sections in either Armacord (Ribbed), Tufted Nylon, Karvel (Ribbed), or Deluxe Woven Wool. Note that the Nylon and Wool options have a rubber backing, whereas the Armacord a felt backing and 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 Armacord for the Rear Deck parts. This is a felt-backed plastic material with an embossed rib pattern. The ribs originally went from front to back down the length of the car. This is unlike many of the other Healeys parts where the ribs ran from left to right. The surrounding loose materials were originally manufactured in Leathercloth (Vynide). 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. Note that there are limited shades available for ribbed Armacord. 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.
What was the original colour used for this part, when it left the original factory production line?
The Rear Deck Kits for the BN6 and BN7 models were supplied in matching colours to the main trim colour, where available. Note that Armacord has a fairly limited colour range available, when compared to the primary materials; and therefore some kits will complement but not 100% match the interior colours. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information.
Is this kit edged?
Yes – we edge these Rear Deck kits using Leathercloth (Vynide) binding, where available. The edges of the Battery Box Cover are pre-sewn with 2″ material strips. These are then used to trim and anchor into this piece into place on the bodywork metal. Please refer to our Materials & Colours library for more information. It should be noted that originally the Healeys left with “hand-rolled” binding edges; which we do not offer. Machine-rolled edges (which we provide) offers a much neater and professional looking finish; whereas hand-rolled edges can look baggy with inconsistent stitches left exposed.
Does the kit include the Leather Battery Box Straps?
No, these are sold separately
Does this kit include the Spare Wheel Cover?
No, the Spare Wheel Cover kit is sold as a separate item.
Does this kit include the materials to re-trim the support brackets that join the Rear Deck area to the B Post Quarter Panels?
No. The material is included as part of the Rear Bulkhead & Stirrup Box Re-Trim Kit, or the complete Trim Panel Kit.
What are the pre-cut loose materials pieces for?
We include a strip of material for re-trimming the lip area at the front of the Rear Shelf area/top of the Lower Bulkhead. We also include enough material to re-trim the bodywork area that surrounds the Battery Box Cover. This means that any potentially exposed bodywork is hidden from sight.
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.
Please note that these prices are exclusive of VAT (UK Customers ONLY) and any additional customs or handling charges that may be incurred during shipping. These prices are given as an approximation only.

🇪🇺 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.
