- Hello all, Would someone tell me what kind of wood is used in the interior; eg., back panel structure, fold down panels, and the convertible side and top rail pieces of a BJ8? I would guess cedar, ma

- I think mahogany was used almost exclusively in major production British cars, with teak only in low production cars. BJ8 backrest is marine plywood. -- Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '59 Jag Mk IX '64 BJ8 ___

- According to their web site, the AH BJ8 dash is made from Black Walnut Burl. Other woods used are ash, beech, walnut and cherry. I would assume (dangerous) that it is ash that is used for the hidden
