I don't know anything about the seller, but notice the rare valve cover with oil filler hole and "S" in reversed position.

Hi,

What vehicle were they off? In the reversed position, would'nt the oil filler stop the bonnet from closing?

Regards, Robin.

Robin,

Yah... I've seen those before. I actually had a LeMans cover that was reversed like that. Cool!

Must not interfere.

Just a wild guess but those covers were probably on Rapiers or Singers ( saloon style body with front opening bonnets ).

I have a Series 3 Rapier and the filler is at the back end of the valve cover, the same as on the Alpine.
