Re: Cunningham '62 Le Mans XKE Coupe WIP

Larry,

From what I could ascertain from the pictures the leading edge of the tank slopes at about the same angle as the seat backs. The Jag floorpan also slopes infront of the rear arches and the tank certainly deepened to take account of that slope. I based the seat angle on the photos and then matched the tank roughly to that. I don't know much more about the tank apart from it was bagged and the membrane was recently replaced. The tank at the rear was the reserve and it was independantly pumped.

BTW, the car is now in the Collier Collection in Naples, Florida.

Will get some dimensions over to you tonight.
