Chrome Ash Tray for Austin Healey and Classic Car Interiors
This chrome ash tray is a replacement interior fitting for Austin Healey BN1-BJ8 models, with additional use across several other British classic cars. It is intended for owners replacing a missing, damaged or tired original ash tray while keeping the interior appearance in line with a period-style chrome cabin fitting.
When previous supply ended, A H Spares chose to develop new tooling rather than leave owners dependent on worn used parts or uncertain alternatives. The result is a newly produced chrome ash tray for restoring this small but visible interior detail properly.
Why This Small Interior Detail Still Matters
- Helps complete the original dashboard or console layout.
- Useful replacement for a missing, marked, damaged or heavily worn ash tray.
- Chrome finish suits period British classic interiors.
- Produced using newly developed tooling after previous supply ended.
- Fits Austin Healey BN1-BJ8 models.
- Also suitable for several other classic British car applications.
- Supplied as one chrome ash tray.
Which Classic Cars Does This Ash Tray Fit?
This chrome ash tray fits Austin Healey BN1, BN2, BN4, BN6, BN7, BT7, BJ7 and BJ8 models.
Because this ash tray was used across several classic interiors, it also fits these cars:
- MG RV8
- Triumph Stag
- Jaguar Daimler Mk2, S Type and 420 models
- Sunbeam Alpine
- Sunbeam Tiger
- AC Cobra 427
- Early saloons/sedans using the same ash tray type
What Is Supplied
Reuse any suitable original fixings or mounting hardware where required, particularly on restored or retrimmed interiors.
New Tooling Developed to Keep This Interior Part Available
- Produced using new tooling developed after the original supplier ceased production.
- Commissioned as a replacement for a shared classic interior fitting used across several British cars.
- Chrome-finished to suit period dashboard and console layouts.
- Designed as a replacement interior ash tray for known classic car uses rather than as a generic accessory tray.
Rather than waiting for the part to reappear elsewhere, A H Spares took the decision to have this ash tray remade so owners and restorers could continue replacing missing, pitted or incomplete originals with a new part.
Check the Existing Opening Before Fitting
This is an interior trim component, so the existing ash tray opening and surrounding trim should be checked before fitting, especially on cars that have been restored, retrimmed or modified.
- Check the dashboard or console opening before installation.
- Inspect the original ash tray and any retained fixings before reuse.
- Take care around painted, veneered or trimmed interior surfaces during removal and fitting.
- Additional adjustment or retained original hardware may be required on restored or modified interiors.
Not Just for Smoking: A Detail That Finishes the Interior
Many owners will never use an ash tray for its original purpose, but the part still matters visually. On cars designed with one, a clean chrome ash tray helps the dashboard or console look complete and avoids leaving a worn, pitted or missing trim piece in an otherwise tidy interior.
It can also serve as a discreet covered tray for small items, but its main value is as a period-style interior detail that belongs with the car’s original cabin design.
