Cripes! Who knew!?
One look at that white car and I would say "replica".

I wondered too John, but there's some more photos of it, and it's definitely a real one.Originally Posted by john

Looking at the back of a car you can tell it's a LB because the louvre panel has three supports between each slat. Transformer/Hawk/Lancia only have two. Not sure about the Corse/Allora/Napiersport versions though a quick trawl of photographs would help..

Anti sagg?
Ducted bonnet option on The LB
Possibly? But the sag is caused by the louvre panel being pushed tight into the aperture on the rear clam. If it's installed with a little tension, rather than compression, it shouldn't warp.
My Corse I, the fuel filler is in the B post.
I think all other types are "via" the rear clam
I have adjusted the door since then so the seam lines up!

It's something that got passed down from the Allora, Corse' are similar.
I think it does help for the anti sag, yes and I can't speak for the others but the louvre is not pushed in tight to the aperture so this doesn't cause the sag.
The air pushing down on the louvre from the rear spoiler is what causes the sag in the case of the LB which is why they have a support bracket between the canopy and the lower louvre.
Without this bracket when travelling at speed the louvre can be pushed down & touch the rear canopy.
