Exhaust fumes in the cab of my coupe.

Vintrace, It sounds like sealing the holes solved the leak coming from the boot since, with tape off, it was fine with the windows up. It sounds like you may still have a exhaust leak from somewhere other than through the boot holes.

Must be why they call this the Snorkel Car!! I have the same trouble with mine and found it to be the seal on the boot lid. The previous owner had cut away a lot of the underside of the lid in an effort to save weight and left no seal at all. I have made a temporary fix but will fit a new lid over the winter. I felt bloody awful after my first lengthy trip and have heard of people passing out in stock car racing for the same reason.
