Just come across this on ebay (nothing to do with me), do you reckon it's really new or a recon? Worth £3000?

Series II / III or One Ten: 2.25L Petrol Engine 24v fully dressed **NEW** | eBay

24 valves...I know there are 8 in the head and two in the fuel pump and one in the hot water tap where are the other 13?

Did military ones have the rocker cover painted?

I posted up a similar thread last year with some company wanting £900 start for a 12v standard one, wasn't painted but looked nice still in its original crate and wrapping

If you squint at the picture it looks like a camel's head - or is that the bottle of sauv blanc I've just drunk? If it's genuine it's probably worth a grand but 3? - I'd rather recon my own.

Someone had a 3.5 low comp for sale the other day on ebay, same military spec brand new etc.. looked nice
Paying 3k for a 2.25 is insane whatever it is unless some restoration classic car nutter would give 4k for it !
