I've found a few period photos of MKI's showing this "skimpy frame set up" on top of the exhaust system.
That is MKI's of the 68/69 era.
Everyone knows about the MKII's dual luggage bins visible from a rear angle that were required to meet regulations.
Is this a "luggage frame" fitted to meet the regulations of that year, does anyone know?
Or possibly a support for the bodywork?
The photos I've seen show the frame to be battered, bent and bruised so have been clearly well used.
It's difficult to see the method of fixing , assuming it's permanent, due to the image low resolution.
I can see one vertical piece of ? tube/angle but again it's not clear enough to properly make out the relevance.
Thanks - Very interested to know more about this.
