With the majority of these headliner and rear screens being supplied in White, these are often the first areas of the car to start getting noticeably dirty and worn. John Skinners can offer a replacement kit in a variety of materials and colours. Please see below for more in-depth descriptions, videos, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
The TR4 models saw a “Surrey Top” version introduced an option as standard from the factory production line. This incorporated a fixed window frame section at the rear of the car – similar to what you see on modern-day “Targa” cars – enabling the car to be semi-convertible with an opening directly above the driver and passenger seats, whilst maintaining the fixed and wind-shielding rear screen frame section. This half-hardtop version was offered as a standard factory option for all TR4, TR4″A”, TR5 and TR250 models; before being discontinued and replaced with an alternative full-hardtop style for some TR6 models. The Surrey Top models featured a removable hardtop panel that could be fixed in place to make the car essentially a full hardtop car. A soft material Surrey Top Canopy cover as also offered, allowing the owner to essentially use the car as an open-top car with an easy to fit, and much more transportable, cover for the surrey top opening should you get caught in a sudden downpour of rain!
For those cars fitted with the Surrey Top hardtop panel – the inside of this roof assembly panel was lined in a heavy grained “longhorn” PVC material, in either white or black, when originally leaving the factory. This same material was also used to upholster the rear windscreen lower and upper backlight surrounds as well as the b post uprights and quarter panel tonneau cappings. The main headlining section of the surrey top was a pre-sewn cover with scrim loops sewn onto the underside which was used to insert three metal rods, that went from left-to-right in the car to secure the headliner in place.
John Skinner Ltd has supplied thousands of these kits during our four decades of manufacturing interior trim for the Triumph TR4 range. Our patterns for this specific part have been templated using original factory doner cars, of which John himself has owned various models – enabling us to try and test the fitment of this panel first hand. As a result of this first-hand experience, we have also updated our kits to make the parts wider and longer than they need to be – enabling for the excess material to used to pull and stretch easily during the fitment process – before being trimmed off at the final stage. This depth of knowledge and updating of patterns and designs due to both first-hand experience as well as constructive feedback from our worldwide base of clients has made John Skinner Ltd the leading manufacturer of interior trim and upholstery for the Triumph TR range; with a history of manufacturing the same parts spanning more than 40 years.

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.
White PVC Headlining
Black PVC Headlining
CUSTOM COLOURS/COMBINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE
Note that we can also offer a variety of custom “non-original” shades if you prefer a more bespoke finish. For a full and complete list of options please view our Materials & Colours library.

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.

🇪🇺 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.
