As promised, the other designers in addition to Kenneth Howes were Geoff
Crompton and Roy Axe. The book suggests that Roy played a small part but
that Geoff may have done a significant portion with Kenneth.

The only other thing to add of note so far is that the book mentions
discusses cooling through the front grill. It said that Rootes only did
wind tunnel testing in the very beginning. But, later found on the LeMans
Alpines that little air makes its way into the front grill! Most of the
air comes from underneath the car. Something to think about when having
cooling problems.
