You're right Chris - we were going to go that route but then realised it wasn't possible because we had filled all the available space with cooling and aircon pipes - so this was the compromise. And interestingly the arrangement was common to at least two original cars that I have seen - although no idea why they did that in period.
I could't tell with the orange Hawk I had with no spoilers (or louvres), compared to the blue Hawk that had a roof wing and rear spoiler.
The lack of rear spoiler helps a lot with rearward vision, but that combined with no rear louvres on the orange car was bliss.

Tanks finished, engine in, odds and sods done = interior and wiring next
Matt, what did you do with the louvre panels eventually? did you get a replacement set, or did you further modify the Italian set?
Looks really pretty by the way!!
Bloody gorgeous!

Thanks Griff - the louvres were made from scratch in the end - a long and and very laborious process that involved a lot of swearing...
