My understanding is that the MKII, which has the fuel pump in the trunk, does
not have the battery box door. I also just checked The Book and on page 175,
toward the bottom, Norm verifies that, relating to the MKII, "No fuel pump
access door was needed and that section of the body, unlike all other models,
was not die punched during manufacture"
