Not sure on the model but I think it's aftermarket. Looks similar to Thomas's spoiler which I have been admiring from afar W(p . It's sprayed in matt black primer at the moment so should look much better when fully prepped and sprayed.
Elford side skirts and rear spoiler will be added but needs so. Elford minor repairs done first...

Shiny but not polished to a mirror finish Dave, only as much as my short attention span could allow. Even to get a nice sheen on the housings and front cover took about 8 hours with all the drill attachments and polishing wheels, compound, etc. I just didn't have the patience to take it any further. ;s;
There's still a number of things to finish like oil pump, set end clearance, flywheel and clutch, oil pan etc but it's a bit of a break through getting to this point. It hasn't been without a few setbacks.
I measured the oil pump to have 17.5mm lobes, so it seems this may have been uprated when it was previously rebuilt - result!
I've been taking plenty of photos along the way and will do a write up when time allows, probably in a few weeks.
