Having immediate access to a '61 bugeye, a '63 MK II, a '66 MK III and a
'70 MG MK III, I'll point out that there are actually three cockpit sizes.

The Bugeyes end 2" behind the seats, the MK II extends 10 1/2" back, and
the later model another 5" beyond that.  The differences came when they
switched types of soft tops.  The Bugeye's just sort of plops on to the
back decking with little chrome fittings, the removable tops on the MK II
and MK III don't need as much space as the MK VI's which was permanently
attached.

So the point of this is to ask perhaps the "extended cockpit" bugeye has a
later style soft top?
