[Class 79 (iii)] [Also in Group XXXII] An arrangement of the air inlet into the engine space of a streamlined motor vehicle with an air-cooled engine placed in the rear body portion is characterized in that the side walls 2 of the top portion 3 of the vehicle body are deflected from the continuous streamlined shape inwardly into the vehicle beneath the engine cover in such manner that the streamlines 5 extending past said side walls are directly inwardly underneath said cover without disruption from the body walls. The inwardly deflected side-walls 2 are extended at 6 to form a continuous rear wall 7.
