TIRE CARRIER, WOODHOUSE - AT-102I

This tire carrier attaches directly to the boot lid, low and to the rear (near the license plate lamp), so it may hold the tire below the rear view mirror field of view. Not having good detail of the attachment, I would be worried that it may damage the thin alloy skin on the boot lid.

The village has been renamed from Braunsfeld (Brownfield) to Ehrenfeld (Field of honour).
