Are you going for factory correct ? Does your s3 have the twin zenith setup or single solex carb?
I have some photos of a factory correct early s3 ST ( twin zenith) engine bay I can dig up. Alternatively Paul Scofield might be able to post so e pictures of his GT , think its all factory correct location but all extra show quality shiney

Yes, I have the original oil filter setup but opted for the ease of a modern filter. Everything else is factory correct, with the exception of some extra shine.
Hi BDH911
I recently purchased a bonnet/ hood badge of rick at sunbeam specialties. it arrived over here in australia beautifuly packaged and presents really well. part no ET62 in their catalogue. i have series iv car which should not have the the bonnet badge but i got this itch to add a little extra bling to my car. i have always liked the badge on the early cars. technically not correct but i have not fitted it yet. i am still thinking about it.
Have any of the other members fitted the badge to later cars out there in sunbeam land? i know it is not original or concours but that is a different issue to what your asking.

The badge on the series 3 is different, it was also used on the fastback cars and some imps

Not sure if you found the correct hood badge yet - but S3's had a different badge to S1/2. It is the same as used on the hillman Imp. I bought a really nicely made repro badge insert for my S3 from the Hillman Imp club, correct for my S3. Good luck.
Regards,
Paul.

Paul I know some of the imps had a slightly smaller version of the s3 bonnet badge. I know the arrow range rapier fastbacks and alpine used the exact badge and chrome plinth as a s3 so might be worth checking UK rapier club too.
S3 Hood Badge
Hello,
I am just getting back in sink with the club after a long time away. I just took a look at your post. Do you still need a S3 hood badge? The Sunbeam Crest / Graphic can be purchase out of the UK but the real problem is the surround. I will check in my stores, at one time I had quite a few of them. Again, please tell me if you are still looking.
