Fast-action bootlid “pop up” kit ?

[Malcster]

Just browsing some classifieds, and noticed a car for up for sale at str8six mentioning:

"...has the very rare, very desirable, fast-action bootlid 'pop up' kit"

What is this?!

I've never heard of it before, was it a factory option, or aftermarket?

Easy and cheap solution is to use the standard TVR factory fix for both doors and boot "pop open" . Feed a length of stiff neoprene tubing (clear fuel line type stuff) into the rubber door seal, use a diameter that gives the best release whilst not making it difficult to close . About a 5p mod .

That's a cracking idea! I've sometime had the doors not popping open very far, and this would stiffen up the seals.
Might give this a go shortly!
