IMAGES AT GOODWOOD SHOW THE DEFLECTOR

Images at Goodwood clearly show just such a deflector (and aeroscreen mounted on top), as does the later photo taken with Jack Howey in the car.

Because it had to represent MDU214 as a road legal production C-Type from 1952, the change-over was simple because 001 had never been registered (it used Trade Plates). If it had been, Jaguar would have been required to pay 60% sales tax. The rebuild appears to have been carried out by HWM. In fact Duncan wrote from his hospital bed in Oporto to George 'The Greek' Abecassis telling him about the accident. Duncan Hamilton's business engaged HWM to prepare much of its stock for resale.

Captain Jack Howey bought MDU214 from Duncan late in 1953 or early 1954, now painted, and retained it for eight years, before it was advertised in Motor magazine by a garage in Folkstone. They sold it to twenty-three years old John Undery around mid-1961 with the Howey modifications. They included a glass panel in the bonnet, several additional pop-open vents in the valance for cockpit cooling, a full-length screen with a single wiper, a luggage rack and a white Mercedes steering wheel which folded sideways.

John recalled both doors opened with internal hinges leading to his wifeto-be unfortunately burning her foot on the silencer. It is possible Jaguar fitted the hinges when Norman Dewis tested it because it did that to XKC011 when it used that for the same purpose at Dunlop's test track.

Undery changed the Howey wrap-round screen for, as he recalls, one probably sourced from a Frazer Nash. He also fitted a hood with a frame and side screens. When he met Roy and saw the body he pointed out the mounting holes which he cut into the body for the frame.
