Thanks for coming to my rescue, Peter. After I posted I thought that I might have been digging a very large hole for myself.
But am I right in assuming that engines were permitted to be uncovered right next to the driver? Had nobody considered a backfire causing flames to erupt from the carburettors' trumpets?
I go back to the original point about in the 60s not being allowed to have the fuel tank in the cockpit. We weren't even allowed to run fuel lines, copper ones if I remember, through the car which was the easiest route. They had to be under the floor-pan.
