The stiffening is probably all part of the safety changes made when the long
nose came in so the passenger cell stays undistorted - same reason big bumpers
came in.  Don't know if the long front was to give more collapsible space; a
more upright spare would have helped, I expect, so maybe that's what determined
the change.
