£344.30 – £467.22 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
Don’t chance it with some cheap, off-the-shelf carpets that let the car down. Instead chose a kit that is custom-made for your specific restoration, using quality raw materials and manufactured using patterns that have been tried and tested for decades!
During the four-year period between 1953 and 1957, a total of around 22,000 were produced – shared between the TR2 (1953/1954/1955) and the TR3 (1955/1956/1957). Although there were a few interior trim and upholstery changes between these two models, the carpet and flooring area remained consistent. The carpets in the main cockpit area of the car included pieces for the main footwell and floor pans, the engine firewall bulkheads, “a” post pillar bulkhead and side scuttle areas, gearbox and transmission/propshaft/driveshaft covers, as well as the rear heelboard/bulkhead shelf behind the seats.
The TR2 and TR3 models appear to have only left the factory with Wool carpets fitted, but there is some debate over this – with Nylon carpets potentially being fitted to some cars. The carpet pieces featured a Vynide (Leathercloth) binding on the edges, although not all edges of every piece were bound. A rubber ribbed heel pad was situated on the Drivers Side Front Floor Footwell carpets, as well a small “D” shaped heelpad on the driver side vertical A Post Bulkhead Panel. The Gearbox Cover included a pre-cut hole with sewn surround opening for the Gear Lever “Boot” Gaitor. The sloping Rear Shelf Bulkhead area was trimmed onto a millboard panel.
Our carpet kits include the original 3-piece front gearbox cover design – which many other suppliers do not offer – instead reverting to the later TR3a one-piece design. John Skinner Ltd has templated using original carpets from various donor cars – as well as working closely with professional upholsterers for many years, John has created and updated the carpet patterns to improve the fitment of these carpets. An example of this has been making certain un-edged areas of carpet pieces wider/longer to allow for easier position and fitment to cater for inconsistencies between the cars. This has worked to good effect for decades now, and has made John Skinner Ltd the industry benchmark in quality and finish for your Triumph TR2 and TR3 carpets and flooring areas.
You may wish to consider our Underfelt Soundproofing Kit to ensure the best fitment in the car, as well as the Carpet Fixing Kit.

🇪🇺 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.
