Default spark plug blues

Beautiful car, magnificent engine - even worked out how to check/change the spark plugs on the left hand side. How in hell do you get at the plugs on the right hand side??? See the pics. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

there's a whole lot of infrastructure hanging off the air intake and a big, fat chamber attached to its underside and neither seem to have a way in!!

You'll have to remove the MAF connector and 3 vacuum tubes. Then that whole intake tube assembly comes off once you loosen the retaining bands and one or two nuts. Then the plug cover is two bolts. It is quite easy though it does look complex.
