DF304 Tool Boxes

Post by dtaylo30 »

Does anyone have pictures or can provide pictures of the fully loaded tool boxes in the boot of the Regency II
I have more tools than shown in the picture but don't know their correct location.
Also what should be in the small diagonal boxes on each side.

I have finally found a picture albeit only a small one.
It's in the Autocar magazine of 14 January 1955 on the final page of the road test for the car.
The road test reads very well. They were generally very impressed with the car.

Having found one picture of the tool boxes I have now got a copy of The Motor magazine of 6 October 1954 which also has a picture of the open boot of the car in its full length technical write up of the car.
However there is a major difference.
The picture shows a single tool box across the width of the bulkhead divided into three sections with a single full width door.
Could this be a prototype car that was used for the article and the tool box design changed for production?
