Looks like a widened roadster
The knee cut out looks a little aggressive with the sharp edge but I don't think it's bad

Looks like someone was inspired by the 961 tank…

Hmm I didn't notice that
I was having a sneaky quick look on my phone at work
Looks like the base of the extension is welded steel bonded to a fibreglass tank ? Not really sure

I see fibres in those plates, but it could be bad paint, not that bad paint under the tank is a worry.

I sort of like it but I won't have anything to do with glass fibre fuel tanks
I've often thought of widening a roadster tank a little
I really miss the extra gallon my fastback had compared to the roadster tank now fitted
