When I saw Mike Leckstein's letter re Anita Ekberg driving in a TF it
explained to me how the car got the two semi circular bumps in the
scuttle just aft of the windscreen, a point which had always puzzled me
about it's design.  Now, thanks to Paul's letter, I understand how the
TD got the same way. Does any one have any info on the design of the TA?
Marlene Deitrich perhaps?
