Originally the inner side wheel arch bodywork panels were left completely exposed on the Triumph TR models. Here at John Skinner Ltd, we have designed covers suitable for re-covering these areas – to add a little something extra to the often-overlooked Boot Trunk Area.

The Trunk area, or “Boot” as us Brits call it, remained unchanged throughout the production period ranging from 1953 to 1962, which saw over 80,000 Triumph TR2, TR3, and TR3A/B models leaving the production line in Coventry. Originally only fitted with a Liner Panel in front of the fuel/petrol tank, and a Mat for the floor of the boot trunk area – the left and right side panels were just left exposed showing the painted bodywork. The large majority of TR2 to TR3A/B models left with Black Boot / Trunk areas, with only the very first TR2s offering a “coloured” alternative in this area.

John Skinner templated these Boot Trunk Side Covers specifically for the TR2-3B range of cars – to offer his clients alternative options in this area of the car that is often overlooked. Designed to include a cover for the wheelarch curved section, as well as the flat bodywork section just behind it – this kit consists of two pairs of covers and can be made in either Wool or Nylon carpet; in Black as original, or a colour of your choosing.

You should consider the floor Mat and Fuel Liner Panel in conjunction with this Side Panel kit to achieve the best results when restoring your Boot Trunk area of your Triumph TR.

DETAILS

Please note that the colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd names, not necessarily the names Triumph 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 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.

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

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

North America & Canada: £28.50 – £160 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.
