Annual Shutdown Period

We are closed for our annual summer shutdown from Monday 14th September 2020, re-opening Monday 21st September. During this period our phones will be switched off and all enquiries (emails/contact forms) will be dealt with in full upon our return to the office. After an extremely busy and stressful 5 months (we remained open the entire time working 7-day shift patterns), the whole John Skinner team is looking forward to a well-deserved break. Please respect this, and thank you for your patience.

BJ7 (3000)

The Abingdon factory commissioned another Four Seater Convertible to their Austin Healey 3000 range, dubbed the BJ7 (3000 Mark 2). This model varied quite a bit internally from its predecessor, the BT7. During 1962 and 1963, a total of 6,113 BJ7 models were manufactured, again with the majority being shipped to North America.

John Skinner Ltd can offer a variety of interior parts and kits for a full restoration of your Austin Healey 3000 MK2. This includes fully trimmed Interior Side Panels, and pre-sewn Seat Cover Kits, as well as Carpet and Flooring kits and Soft Top Convertible Hoods.

We can supply kits in a wide variety of colours and materials, catering for both the original Abingdon factory production line specifications, as well as bespoke/custom options. Materials include Leather and Vinyl/Ambla for the Interior Panels and Seat Upholstery, as well as Wool, Karvel, and Armacord options for the flooring. British Everflex PVC and Canvas Mohair Hooding materials also available in a variety of shades.

All parts are manufactured and supplied from our unit in Cheltenham, based less than 50 miles from the original Longbridge and Abingdon plants.
