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 parts such as the
fold down panels, etc.

Curt is correct. And I suggest that it may be time to ask those who know.
Why not check out Austin Healey Wood which is located in Oxford
Massachusetts
USA 508-987-7301 or http://www.austinhealeywood.com After all, the
original question by Bill Schumann was " .... 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?"

Listers, Great, I agree, wood frame cars are constructed of ash. So buy a
Morgan and join the Morgan list ;-) Healeys *are not* wooden frame cars and
as such what wood in them can be Oak, Mahogany, plywood (and possibly
whatever
else was available at the time) as Alan Seigrist has already stated. >>
