To summarize S Series Bonnet Types:
A. S1 ( air scoop) Yes
B. S2 ( air scoop)& extra recesses for chrome strip above front rubber bumpers.
" S3 ( air scoop)^^^^ Same as S2? ^^^^
C. S3c ( air scoop and round spots) Also factory optional extra on S3
D. Late S3/S3c/S4c ( small slit vents in bonnet) smooth with round spots. Known as "S4 Bonnet"
E. V8S ( smooth with supercharger hump and round spots)

Does anybody disagree with this list? If so, please let us know on here.

Just collating collective wisdom and input from this and the other thread to amend Graham's list, Stewart. It's all teamwork.

Hopefully we have arrived at the definitive list.

Thanks guys, looks like we have a result.

I am putting something together to document all the differences, once i've got definitive photos of each bonnet. Front, side, top, inside front showing woods, inside of rear and catch mounts..

We also ask if possible for photos of the original when we take an order. That was how we spotted the current one was the smooth bonnet not the s3/ s3 with spots..


cheers

It was at about this stage I realised just how different a S3 and a V8S bonnet are..............





Plan B: second hand S2 bonnet and graft the V8S light pods on ..............

The elusive s4 smooth bonnet mould gelled up ready to make a new bonnet. Took some tracking down and repairs but now we can now make everything from s1 to v8s

Wow! That's a comforting thing to know.
Well done to Graham for his efforts bringing this to reality..
