There is a good reason why glove cubby boxes are still a common feature for modern-day cars – the storage is ideal and very convenient. Make sure your dashboard cubby box does not let down the look and feel of your Triumph TR.
Despite the radical changes to the overall look and design of the TR4 models when compared with its predecessor – many of the basic concepts remained in place. The cubby box, situated on the passenger side of the dash facia assembly panel was one of these features which were carried over from the TR3A era. Due to the re-design of the dash and console area – the “glove” box cubby assembly was different in shape to the earlier TR versions – with a smaller, square-shaped design favoured for the TR4 models. Unlike the earlier glove box units – which were supplied in a similar shade to the main interior trim colour – the Gloveboxes fitted to the TR4 to TR6 were always in supplied in black, and were not flocked either – instead being supplied in a grained millboard material, regardless of the main trim colour. This overall design was maintained throughout the TR production era up until the end of the TR6s; although a slight alteration was made for the TR5/250 & TR6 models to allow for the newly introduced interior light.
Our gloveboxes are templated using the original factory designs – and have been tried and tested for decades on thousands of cars around the world. John Skinner himself has owned multiple TRs in his life, and so knows first hand of the suitability to purpose and fit of his own products. We use the correct thickness millboard material and supply these fully riveted to shape, ready to be fitted to the car. We commonly supply these parts in the original black grain faced millboard, but as part of our JS Bespoke range – we can now offer these cubby boxes in a flocked finish in a limited number of shades. Our knowledge of these parts and decades of experience in manufacturing these parts has made John Skinner Ltd the industry benchmark in quality and finish for your Triumph TR interior trim panels.

🇪🇺 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.
