It's a fine piece of British Motoring Heritage and a bargain at that, and so is the postage.

I think that BMC Man is John Peck.

He has done a few of these in the past, always passes them off a "Downton" they are of course nothing of the osrt, quite nice rocker cover though.

He's the guy who used to sell people knackered Shorrock Superchargers as NOS!

If you look in his other items section it looks like he is having a bit of a clear out. A GH fake Downton keyring & a few bits of shorrock manifolds too! Particularly like the £250 worth of XJS with a starting price of £4000!

On the other hand, the rocker cover above posted by Alex looks like the genuine 60's item.
