One thing that strikes me as odd is that I am almost 100% certain that in the 60s' days of Special Saloons we had to have a firewall between the engine and the driver's compartment. In fact, one of the reasons that Richard Scantlebury's Janglia was in a specialist's workshop, alongside my car (there for the rear wheel arches), was because they were creating the firewall because the straight six protruded beyond where the original bulkhead would have been.

You also had to have a firewall between the driver's compartment and where the fuel tank was situated.
