Thanks Eliot, they have one that looks like it'll fit perfectly, should be able to get a pair of 5 gallon verticle drag ones in either rear quarter panel. Only thing I'm not sure of is how you could fit a fuel guage to them.

That's a good point which I overlooked, because I dont have one currently. But then again, when your'e only getting 9mpg out of a 10 gallon tank - you tend to fill up at every station anyway!

never considered a bigger tank, like 100gallons?

I plan to do a lot of miles in this car (as in long journeys) and am not exactly renowned for my memory, so thought I best be safe!!

I've emailed them to see what they say - I should imagine it must be possible to put a VDO type tube on in from the top somewhere like they do on the ally ones I was looking at, but best to check!
