Quarter B Post Panels (Pair)
Suitable Models: TR2, TR3
£113.71 – £253.73 exc. VAT UK Customers ONLY - VAT (20%) will be calculated at checkout.
These B Post Wheelarch Quarter Panel casings should not be overlooked when restoring your car. Even though they are situated behind the Front Seats – these Quarter Panels are quite prominent for anyone looking into your Triumph TR2 or TR3 – don’t let old and shabby panels let the car down.
During the four-year period between 1953 and 1957, a total of around 22,000 cars were produced – shared between the TR2 (1953/1954/1955) and the TR3 (1955/1956/1957). When discussing the interior trim panels – the only noticeable change between the TR2 and TR3 models was the rear bulkhead panel. All other parts remained consistent between the cars. The Quarter Casing Assembly Panels, situated on the B Post area of the car behind the door closing mechanism, were trimmed panels following the shape of the rear wheel arch bodywork curvature. These panels did no feature any piping/beading – which was only introduced during the TR3A production era – and remained so until the last TR6 models.
The TR2 and TR3 models left the factory with the panels upholstered in Vynide (Leathercloth). Commonly these days, this material is superseded with Vinyl (Ambla), although Leathercloth (Vynide) is still available if requested (colour dependent). Very few cars, if any, would have left with Leather panels – and if they did, this would have been a special order item. Note when “Leather” is mentioned on the heritage certificates, this is often referring to the Seats and some of the Cappings around the cockpit of the car. See our FAQs for more information.
Our panels are templated using the original factory designs – and have been tried and tested for decades on thousands of cars around the world. It is no secret that these cars were manufactured during an era of inconsistent mass production techniques. As a result of this – we can never wholeheartedly say our panels fit 100% of the time – this would be foolish! However, due to decades of production of these parts and feedback from our clients and professional fitters – we are confident that we do offer the most consistent and best-fitting panels on the market. In addition to this, we offer after-sale support for those who require further assistance should any issues be encountered during the fitment process. Needless to say, this approach to manufacture has made John Skinner Ltd the industry benchmark in quality and finish for your Triumph TR2 and TR3 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.
