On the initial release of the radically overhauled, Giovanni Michelotti designed, Triumph TR4 – the gear lever stick came directly out of the carpeted section of the gearbox transmission tunnel in the centre of the car. For this particular model, the grommet “boot” cover was a circular black rubber piece inserted through the hole in the corresponding carpet piece. However, for the later TR4A models, as well as the following TR5/250 and TR6 models – the housing of the gearshift boot was mounted in the centre console frame assembly unit. With this change also came an update to the gauntlet cover – with a sewn material cover offering a cleaner finish, more in line with the other upholstery elements of the car. As with the surrounding areas of the Dash, Console and Crash Pads – this Gear Stick Cover was supplied in Black as standard.

Templating from the original factory designs – and with tens of thousands of these sold in the 40 years we have been making these parts – John Skinners offer this pre-sewn gear lever boot gaitor in Vinyl (Ambla) or Leather – in either Black to suit originality or a custom colour scheme of your choosing. Despite the relative size of this part – we still use our premium range of raw materials to make these covers – never taking any shortcuts in the consistency of our products. It is this attitude toward even the most seemly “insignificant” parts of the car – that has allowed us to gain and maintain our reputation as the benchmark premium supplier of interior trim and upholstery for Triumph TRs.

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.

Brexit

You can read a full guide to Brexit and JSM here.

To briefly summarise the details…

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 things from the UK. Here is a brief overview…

The UK Value Added Tax (VAT @ 20%) is no longer applicable to any customers purchasing from outside the UK, assuming these goods leave the UK. To clarify, no VAT (20%) will be charged on initial purchase for any goods leaving the UK.

Instead your local country tax is charged upon importation into that country. This is based on the value of the goods as stated on the customs Invoice we supply. For most European countries – the result of this change is minimal as most local taxes range between 17% and 22% for the large majority of EU based countries. Note that some countries have lower tax rates, and others have higher, this is purely a guideline.

You will be contacted by a customs official upon arrival of the parcels to the destination country – and they will request payment of these taxes.

All shipping agents levy a small administration charge for “clearing customs” normally of a value around €5 – €10.

Our products are 100% UK Manufactured, therefore our products are Tariff/Duty free – meaning that you should not incur additional tariff charges upon importation. It should be noted that we use the HS Commodity Code (Tariff Code) 8708.99.9790 “Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8708 > Other Parts…” – for the majority of the kits that we supply.

For any Trade or Wholesale Customers – if you provide us with your EORI number – then this is noted at the point of import, allowing you to claim back the Tax from your local government when you issue you tax returns.
