spare wheel well

In my recently aquired Karman Vert, in the wheel well, there is a large hole that I am sure should have a plate screwed over it, the plate is missing, but more to the point I am wondering what it is there for, it seems to serve no purpose as it offers nothing but a view of the road surface underneath the car, any clues? maybe a pic of the finish that should be there?
Thanks
Don

well, mine has a hole there and lucky cause my bonnet cable broke and a got it open in that hole to open bonnet ,just put a lid off of a coffee tin over it .

Hi Ian, I reckon I'd be lucky to get my hand past the spare wheel to get at the lach, Oh, and I don't drink coffee so I'll have to come and get a lid off you. 👍😂

Are you meaning a 1303 vert? If so it is just a large drain plug as far as I'm aware.

Here ya go Donn. It is just a round plate. Maybe someone has one out of a parts car.

That looks like it Jeff, nice touch with the seat belt in the boot 😵

That is for my tool box - stops it crashing around in the front. :-)
