I've seen them pop up every now and then. Last one I saw was about 6 months ago on Ebay somewhere.

it's probably no worse for flow than the factory Cooper ones were. Might even be better. :wink:

Alexander Engineering were a very well known tuning company in the UK. They did a lot with BMC A series stuff including a 7 port head. Later they also sold a lot of more general motoring accessories.
