The intake (if that's what it is!) on the rear wing - I guess that fed an oil cooler mounted inside the hole cut in the rear?
a big problem with the early 'cow horn' cox's was keeping them cool, they just couldn't get enough air into the rear (or get the hot air out) I think they could just about cope with an 850, but when people stared to put s motors in them they just kettled up for fun.
a mate of mine had one of the very first ones on the road in 1967 and he said it would blow its expansion bottle the second it was in traffic - his had a nasty trick in that if it did this it would direct the red hot steam right onto the unfortunate passengers neck
for a while they put the rads in the back (on the first of the heerey ones), and some of them have some hideous air scoops and what not on the rear wings.
its possible to solve the cooling now, as people understand expansion bottle and the importance of the heights of the pipes and what not.
But when I saw it in the plastic I was very jealous!
