Thanks for the info. I saw a 76 Spit today with its 'extra' chrome and rubber bumper portions removed. Looks better I think, but Laura differs. We were both at the Santa Monica airport British Wings

Surely there is room way at the back of the car near the rear muffler. Or is it too cool to be useful by then? Why couldn't they have done it like BMW did in the Mid-70's with a Thermal Reactor and n
