The exhaust smell can be a tricky problem to resolve. You can use
a paper strip or a dollar bill between the boot and the seal to see if there
is drag. A good light inside the boot and a darkened room would show any
leak areas. There are several points where the fumes could enter and there
was a discussion on this subject here some time ago.
A friend has the similar problem on his Tiger but we have not had
the time to investigate. One item I want to look at on his Tiger is the
seal between the bumper mount and the body. I think this could be the main
cause since it is very close to the exhaust pipes and in a turbulent air
stream.

Subject: [Tigers] Trunk/Boot needed for Tiger Mk1A
Does anyone have a trunk/boot for a Tiger. I have a MK1A (round corner) and
can do local pickup in Northern CA. My trunk has always been a little bent
and I suspect that is the culprit of having exhaust smell enter my cabin
with the hardtop on. I would prefer Carnival Red, although it still probably
not a perfect color match but at least a bolt up would be close. Thanks in
advance, Rob
