He must have an interesting job, England on day, moved location the next,
Is he a secret agent do you think?
I think he might be, and the lack of net cover is just a front to keep his location top secret.

Here is one of the caps I made to go onto a real Herbie, being restored in the USA,
Its nicer than my cap and more accurate given the modifications I made to this cap with the top catch.
Any budding Herbies want one?

I just realised last year that herbie had an external fuel door instead of opening the hood, was this a race mod?
Was it an easy mod to do Herbie?
Looks real cool :bounce

The "Lemanns" Fuel cap I Believe was a racing car fuel cap modification back in the day, hence AC Cobras, Triumph TR series etc all sported
similar styles of quick fill caps, Some probably just for the look, I think Disney added the Lemanns cap for the Montecarlo Herbie movie for a couple
of reasons, partially because it shows how serious a race car Herbie is, as, If you remember in the love bug, Tennesee fills Herbies fuel tank with a funnel under the hood, taking his time and talking to Herbie {Not Very
quick for racing, and races are won and lost in the pits}and Naturally that servers the plot well, as does the racing cap, It serves the plot to
provide a convenient place to hide a great big diamond.
It appears near impossible to find the original makers of the cap that was used for Herbie so I have molded and modified one to suit,
This plastic cap would suit kitt cars etc as a dress piece.
Cheers Tony
