Tim, I saw something on CC a few days ago about the standard FIA trunk, but then lost it....so I looked on GT40s.com and this came up....
"Luggage dimension regs from 1969 Appendix J (FIA 1969 Appendix J) - The actual size of case is as per that in the 1962 regs where only 1 needed to be carried. Obviously the 1966 Mk11a had space for 2 suitcases which I assume are to this (FIA standard?)size:
Article 253-Prescriptions common to all cars of categories A and B
h) Luggage trunk: a covered space shall be provided which is an integral part of the coachwork but outside the space occupied by the passenger seats.
This space shall be such as to enable to carry without special difficulty a number of suit-cases, sheltered from rain or dirt which varies according to the cylinder-capacity of the engine equipping the car (see below), of the following minimum dimensions: 60 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. (or 24"x16"x8"...GS)
Cylinder-capacity inferior or equal to 2,000 cc: 1 suit-case
Cylinder-capacity superior to 2,000 cc: 2 suit-cases"
Cheers,
Glen
