Fuel tank in my old type III doubled as the crumple zone.

Later cars, such as the Volkswagen S, and the next curved windshield Superbug had the bottle connected directly to the valve on the spare. I think the later Type3s did as well.

Also had to do running repairs to some perspex sheets.

Looks like it was a truck on the back of the float that wasn't loaded................ properly.

How do you figure that?

That would have made a lot of sense. Not

I suppose not a lot different than a Side impact on a Series, "protected" by an ally panel & right under one's bum.

On my olde worlde ex family 'steam driven' 1924 FIAT 501 the 10 gallon tank was under the bonnet & directly behind the dashboard, but structurally those old cars were constructed quite differently with a decent chassis, quite solid mudguards, tank, running boards, fuel tank base probably 1 - 1.5 m up from ground level, not too many cars on the road & what there were traveled at much slower speeds.

Odd that when we drive our Series, I bet we don't even give a second thought to the fuel bomb under our arses until we feel our Jocks getting hotter..
