Rear Seats Padding Kit (Car Set)

Suitable Models: TR2, TR3

$172.88 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.

An extremely rare optional extra – the Rear Seats on the TR2 and TR3 models may be few and far between, but for those who have this assembly – don’t let crumbling foams spoil your car!

SKU: TR-017970 Categories: , , Tags: , ,

From 1953 to October of 1955 around 8600 TR2 models left the factory production line in Coventry, followed by over 13000 more TR3s from 1955 to 1957. A very rarely seen optional extra – some of the Triumph TR2 and TR3 models came fitted with an occasional rear seat cushion and backrest. When fully upholstered and fitted to the car – the complete seat assembly included seat covers, foam padding trimmed onto plywood base-boards. Pre-formed metal brackets were used to affix to the rear bulkhead of the chassis.

This kit provides the necessary padding for inside the seat cover. Templated from the original designs – and after decades of manufacturing and fitting these exact rear seats – John Skinner Ltd has long been considered the industry benchmark in quality and finish when restoring your Triumph TR2 and TR3 rear seat assemblies. We use the correct density foam to offer the desired resistance for both comfort and a full-bodied appearance of the trimmed seat. For superior restoration results, always use this kit in conjunction with a John Skinner Ltd seat cover kit.

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)

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.
