Newbie question:How to get to engine

Was looking at a Bongo on sale on behalf of the owner. Person showing me round knew nothing about it, and i don't know much, and I found I couldn't remove the engine covers! The previous one I looked at had a centre console that could be removed by removing two turn screws but this one doesn't appear to have any way of removing the console. I found the two front clips OK under the carpet but I still couldn't raise the cover. Was there something i should have done with the seat/console?

Console definitely needs removing first, there's a third clip underneath that secures the seats.

The centre console is held down with 2 plastic 'wingnuts'
One is under the ashtray in the middle, and the other is in the big tray at the back - inside the armrest storage box if one is fitted.

If the bongo was a "new shape" The two wingnuts are (1) under a cover in a pocket on the centre console (2) under the flip lid at the rear of the console.
