Great work.

Every right click on the Canepa page denied me access for posting pics.

Same as the passenger seat and "boot".

passenger seat i understand as an addition. i imagine if i had a 917 my mates would want to share the lunacy. but the spare wheel in a circuit racer??

Those seats are so cool.

What is the closest you could get to that driving experience? A Broadley T76 at £250,000? and at sub £40K an Ultima?

Regulation for competing sports cars at the time to carry one.

Never actually used in practice (imagine changing a wheel on the side of the road on Mulsanne!), just part of the regs.
