Default re: smooth boot 400

Geoff & Andrew

Thankyou for your replies and the photo. An interesting picture inside the boot, easy yo see the necessity to improve the boot space. On checking my car, feeling through the felt lining of the boot, in the obvious centre point, presumably what is the remnants of weld can be found concurring with what Andrew says. Having checked the inside of the alloy spare wheel cover no numbers show on inner or outer. On the left hand side of the boot aperture an extra piece of wood can be found assumedly as Andrew says for the boot support.
Andrew: Was the boot on these early cars lined? If so with what?. The spare being mounted where shown, where did the jack,wheelbrace, etc. mount?
On another subject, the "smooth boot" 400 advertised by Brian May, I notice the Enots one shot mounted on the left side of the car?

My regards Barry

Barry ,



Brian's 400 was originally LHD and the one shot pump was not moved across,
