| x819 Extract from WDA/Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/L 24/11/13 in XY93 A point worth noting is that the front side doors, which are hinged at the rear end, can be opened two or three inches and fixed in that position by means of hook and eye, the object evidently being to ventilate the front seats and keep ones feet cool. It seems rather a simple and cute method of getting over hot floor board troubles. R | ||
