Shiny chromed air filter can, fits Rover 3500. Possibly a Morgan part.

A quick and easy way to add lots of sparkle and shine to the engine bay of your V8 Rover P6. This chrome plated air filter can fits in the same place as the dull painted standard item. See the first photograph below, as installed on my car. It has a larger intake area and fits larger filters than the standard item, for increased airflow.
There are some small dents on the top, and some pitting to the chrome on the underside, but overall it is a very nice serviceable item.
I think it might possibly be a Morgan Plus Eight part, but I'm not certain. I bought it to tart up my engine bay before I decided to fit a NADA air filter set-up with a snorkel and bonnet scoop instead. Offered here to you gents first, before I put it on an auction site. Make me a sensible offer by private message.

Hi, That's a chromed SD1 air filter, yes the filters are bigger but also more expensive and only available from Rimmers (that I've found). On the SD1 there's an extension that goes forward to an air temperature control valve drawing air from the front or a shroud around the left hand exhaust manifold.

Edit: Sorry just realised you're trying to sell it, I didn't mean to queer your sales pitch.:oops:
