To complete the service ‘additions and variations’ to the 2,000-page Cadillac workshop manual – the ‘paperwork’ referred to – Bill and I spent many hours inspecting each item that had been altered or newly made and how each had been fitted, while at the same time making copious detailed notes. I then spent hours writing it all up in as orderly a fashion as possible, to then have it checked over for ‘understandability’ by an outside source. On top of this were the six pages of mind-boggling multi-coloured wiring diagrams, to which painstaking alterations, all in matching colours had to be made and then checked by Alan.
      As time-consuming as such an exercise might have been, once done, the  ‘paperwork’ was there for all eternity, theoretically at least; and with our modern computer technology, ever reproducible when needed.
     As for making more of our special cars, despite the effort to minimise production time and eliminate any unseen pitfalls, professional estimates were showing that, even after some ‘jigging up’, a minimum of three thousand hours production time would be needed – the prime difficulty being the problems caused by using an altered monocoque body. 
    As the monocoque was the only reason we had been able to create the rigidity and comfortable luxury combined with the low-slung style, there was no way around this biggest single factor contributing to the excessive cost. Suggestions of less time-consuming alternative ways, bypassing the use of the original Seville monocoque, could never, sadly, produce anything even remotely similar – either in looks or behaviour. There really was no other way.
