You are correct on the Bugeye. I sort of forgot about that "stuff"
called hardura.
It sort of went away after the car saw the first few rain storms, top up
or down, it didn't much matter.
The rubber mats did not go up the rear bulkhead. Biff also has a MKII
and I think that would have had the carpet up the rear bulkhead, not
sure about the Sprite MKII, but the MKI Midget did have speckled carpet
in this area.
I stand corrected.
