If  only you had said "its weird it has 2 cams"
have never heard of that one before
im guessing being finned its alloy never seen a special one but then again im not that old.

Sounds good.

It sounds a bit like one i've got.
Finned alloy cover, front mounted oil cap and the word Special down the middle.
The writing is i think written in the same style as the Special badge on an FJ.
