So to solve the problem I need to extend the exhaust pipes 1m off the rear of the car.

OK. I thought is was just me, but this is the first classic car I've owned where both car and driver ingest fuel. The smell on your clothes, even after a short drive is astounding. I won't even mention the smell of everything in the boot! The seals looked ok when I last checked (after driving 1,100k...

Hi All, When driving the 2400 Coupe, I end up having to put the windows down as I start to taste the colour purple due to the intense smell of exhaust fumes/petrol.

I would have gone for FAG, but I couldn't source them (or the SKF) in the timeframe required.
