In addition to the above, there is one item, viz. 'Tunnel on inside filler type of petrol tank, to enable the last few gallons to be quickly filled (N.Sch.4001)' which cannot be fitted on 5.B.1V.because an outside filler tank is to be used, but which is wanted on production. We should be glad if you could get this fitted to a car and tested.
