Hi @AndrewArjoon , Yes, we make all the interior trimmings for the MK2 - Trim Panels, Seat Covers, Headliner, Carpets & Flooring etc.

@@Classic-Car-Trim-John-Skinner Great, do you have prices on your website? I'm not from the UK but I'm restoring my Dad's 1962 Jag Mk2. I do have an address In the UK I can ship the items too.

Hello, Note that these Sunvisors are only applicable to the TR5, TR250 and TR6 models. The TR4 and TR4A models used a different version - please see this link here - ruclips.net/video/yFobhdgcYN4/видео.html

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm intrigued - please do let me know any details and we can look to get these added if they are missing from our offerings. Everyday is a school day. (Just FYI, we have the LHD and RHD spec metal panels for the Drivers side; and we have the millboard panels for the LHD & RHD spec for the Passenger Side). Please advise if there was another offering...

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Keith, Yes, you are correct - most XJ6s models left with what was referred to as a 'Flock Pile' style carpet which had a very short pile. This material is no longer made. We have very limited old stock in a few colours which once gone will unlikely be available again in the future. Note that the Wool (as per this video) is far superior in quality, durability and finish; so this is what we default to for most of our restorations. I hope this assists, let me know if you have any further questions. Jonathon

Hello Barry, What an extraordinary comment/message. Let me clarify a few things for you, as you seem to be a little confused - and I also want to ensure that other viewers of my videos are not misled by your comment. RE: Moss Motors - We do NOT supply Moss Motors with this part/product. I have no idea where Moss get this part from - so I cannot comment for the unit that they supply; however, knowing the approach Moss take with most things these days - it would not surprise me if this is a cheaply made item from Asia. That being said, I simply do not know where they get their items made, nor do I care. Frankly, your anger and frustration is completely misdirected. You have seen a video showcasing a job that you and your eight trimmers have struggled to do - and taken the approach to vent your frustrations on a completely innocent and unrelated business and individual. All you needed to do was return the unsuitable item to Moss, and then contact us to buy a suitable version… RE: John Skinner Ltd - John Skinner Ltd is a small, family run business specialises in award winning, quality made interior trim and upholstery items. We are not a one-stop-shop for everything classic car related - we specialise in interior trim and upholstery; and have purely focused on this for almost 50 years now - and we are very good at it. I have taken the time to create this RUclips channel to show case our products, detailing their quality and workmanship and suitability for restoration jobs. Part of the reason for this approach is due to my own frustrations with the approach of classic car enthusiasts who seem to think that any number of companies can supply good interior trim and upholstery kits - and thus just base their purchase on the price tag and lead time. Whilst that approach may be fine for other elements of your restoration project - it is foolish to take this approach when it comes to the interior trim and upholstery. Simply put you cannot compare “apples with apples” when it comes to upholstery. They may be called the same name, and they may be essentially made of the same core materials - but the quality of those raw materials, and the pattern making accuracy and thus suitability to the car can vary massively. Based on your message, I can only assume that you have experienced this first hand on a rather negative front. John Skinners has carved a unique niche in this market as being one of, if not the, premier manufacturer of interior trim kits for the range of cars that we offer. Our in-depth knowledge of these cars, original process and materials - and how they should be made and fitted - is second to none. I offer and share this knowledge to all customers of our products/kits. However, I will only share this information with customers who purchase directly from us. I send emails, photos and videos and have in depth phone conversations with my customers if they require it. It is all part of the service. My RUclips channel is purely there to showcase our work and hopefully attract enthusiasts into making the logical choice when choosing a supplier for their restoration project. And for those who do choose to go with a Skinner Kit - they have a wealth of knowledge and experience available to them should they require it. If you are interested in knowing more about my business and our approach then I would recommend that you read the following articles and read the 100s of customer testimonials from our global base of loyal customers - john-skinner.co.uk/why-john-skinner/the-price-of-value/ john-skinner.co.uk/why-john-skinner/our-philosophy/ john-skinner.co.uk/testimonials/ In the meantime, I wish you all the best with your on going restoration project - and, of course, if you require any interior trim and upholstery for your car - then you know where to find us and I would be more than happy to help. I have a S3 Roadster myself which has recently been restored to a very high level which I plan to showcase on RUclips shortly - and this includes two new Dash Top Panels (Main + Front) both using after-market moulded Dash Tops; fitted and then fully re-trimmed in Leather - which is not an easy job, but doable with the right materials/kits and expertise. I hope this has clarified things for you and eased your frustrations/doubts that quality made parts and kits are still available if you know where to look ---> john-skinner.co.uk/ All the best, Jonathon Skinner (Managing Director of Team JSM)

Super - happy to help - here is the link to the specific product page on our website - john-skinner.co.uk/quote/trim-upholstery/jaguar-e-type/s1-s2-s3/interior-panels/dash-top-panel-cover/ I look forward to hearing from you.

Thats very kind of you :-)

Hi Ken, Yes, we can assist you with replacemetn seats for your 420G - please send me an email - sales@john-skinner.co.uk with your contact details and car spec and I can put a Quote together for you. Thanks, Jonathon

thanks jonathon, gunno do it now.@@Classic-Car-Trim-John-Skinner

Hi Jim, It is only the Vinyl (Ambla) Covers that have this embossed pattern on the pleats for the TR5 & TR250 Seat Covers. This was how they were supplied originally by the TR Production Line. For LeatherFaced or Full Leather factory upgrade Seats - the pleats would have revert to being Plain originally from the factory. We, however, can offer a similar pattern for Leather options. It is NOT original (as mentioned above, the original Leather seats would have been plain pleats) - but our pattern gives a nod to originality and so some people like to go for this look. You can see this Leather embossed pattern on our TR6 Seats in this video here - ruclips.net/video/ZL_4Srajxgo/видео.html Nice option if you fancy, it but note that it was not original. Hope this helps.

Hi @erictyler1813, Thanks for your message and kind words. I haven't published this other video yet. Not enough hours in the day. Watch this space. 😃

Thanks David - for both the tip and the referral.

Hello Kenny, Yes, we do - please send me an email @ sales@-john-skinner.co.uk with your full contact details and I can raise a Quote for you.

Hello Gloria, Thanks for your kind words. Please send your enquiry (including Full Name and Address, and details of your Car including Chassis Number if known) to sales@john-skinner.co.uk

Many thanks 😃

Thanks a lot 😊

Hi Philip, Thanks for your kind words, always nice to hear! Some beautiful colours out there; and worth considering if you want to use Grained or Smooth leather for certain areas. Plenty of photos on our website too - its ever evolving, so keep your eye on our website and RUclips channel for more updates (not enough hours in the day to keep up!!)

Hi Kevin, We skiv the leather to 0.7mm I believe. Worth keep in mind that leather and vinyl are two quite different materials so the approach and technique to trimming can be quite different, irrelevant of thickness of materials. Thanks for your kinds words. please keep watching and sharing...

Thanks Bertie. Let me know if you have any requirements :-)

Hi, Thanks for your interest. Yes, I have few photos that would be useful for the installation process - its fairly straight forward. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

@@Classic-Car-Trim-John-Skinner Thanks for responding. I have looked at installation videos on the Internet and it looks like most folks install it with the top cross section On Top of the 2 side pieces facing the front of the car. Your video shows it the other way around. I think this matters because I believe the folds are only meant to be folded one way. Do you agree?

Hi Joe, Yes, this sounds correct. Note that we pre-crease these panels using a creasing stamp tool. The crease is there to assist in the bends in the material that you mention. Note that for this part, the Millboard is effectively double sided, so there shouldn't be any issues with your above noted comment. Hope this helps.

Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, we can supply the Seat Covers, Seat Foam Padding Kit, Seat Diaphragms and Seat Webbings, and even the Seat Clips should you require (normally you can re-use your old ones of these). This page here should assist you - john-skinner.co.uk/shop/seats-sewing/front-seat-covers/front-seat-padding-kit-6/

Thanks a lot!

Your parcels arrived. Not opened it yet, but will do in the next few days. Talk next week.

Glad it was helpful!

Hello, I am not sure if you have used our in-house JSM Springs and Foams, or an alternative suppliers. Please keep in mind that our Spring Units and our Seat Foam Padding Kits are designed to be used in conjunction with one another; they should not be mixed and matched with other suppliers products. I am aware of some cheaper alternatives Seat Springs on the market, which are much higher and very "wobbly". These have been supplied by the "big" wholesalers for a few years now. In my opinion these are no-where near suitable for purpose. Our springs on the other hand have remained unchanged for 40 years and work very well. They are much stiffer, which makes the initial installation harder - its a two person job ideally - but once installed they serve the purpose very well in the car. If you contact me directly I can help and advise you on this matter with photos and videos, assuming it is our JSM product that you are installing. Always happy to help and advise.

Hi Jon, That is correct, the TR4s (most, not all) used a Grey Loop Pile Carpet. We do not offer this loop pile version. We can offer a similar shade of grey in Wool (we call this Saville Grey), which is superior in quality and finish to the loop pile if this is of interest - john-skinner.co.uk/materials-and-colours/wool/

Hello, Yes, we can make just one singular seat if you require, please send me a enquiry via our website and I can advise further. Thanks!

Hello, Unfortunately this is not available in large lengths - we are limited by the size of the HF Welding tool, which has a maximum size roughly the same size as a TR6 pleated panel.

Great! I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Hi David, Yes, we have the Grey in either Deluxe Wool or Karvel (ribbed). Let me know and I can send the samples. Looking forward to seeing your BT7 parts when all is said and done.

Fantastic!

Very kind of you to say...we aim to please!

Hi Tim, no aware of anyone in the US who makes these parts - but we are more than happy to ship to your side of the pond. The US is a big market for us, so we ship there each week. Let me know.

Hi Dave, how are you and hows that lovely E Type of yours - getting to enjoy it much? I look forward to hearing from you in the future with regards to the XK. Stay safe.

Awesome, thank you!

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hello Roddy, thanks for your message and kind words; and please excuse the delay - busy days at the moment with everything going on in the world! Glad to be busy though, keeps me sane! I have just recorded and uploaded a video for the felt kit as requested - ruclips.net/video/5XjJ0nUoV0U/видео.html

@@Classic-Car-Trim-John-Skinner Thank you so much, I am more interested in the carpets looking right than having the ultimate sound proofing so this is ideal. Great tips on glueing and stud fitting too. Great service!

Great to hear!

Absolutely, its an on-going process! Subscribe and keep posted for the latest updates. We hope to have our new eCommerce website for Triumph TRs live in the next 6 weeks also!
