Looking for this rare front for a Bugeye Sprite

[macsprite]

Does anyone recognize this front for a Bugeye ? Looks a bit like the Ashley Mk1 front, but no ridges from grill to indicators, or up the center of the bonnet. I think it is one of the best fronts I have seen for a Bugeye. Nice, smooth lines. This one looks to be in steel, but does anyone make this front in fiberglass ?
Thanks
Lew

Looks to be the Pema Sprite bonnet by Peasmarsh to me.

UK, see number plate of square body car in rear and the right hand drive. I think I have identified it as a Peasmarsh bonnet. Now I need to find one ....

Just leave an E type and a BE alone inna dark along with 55 gallons of high test and you'll have one soon enough.

To me it has the look of the Walker bonnet from Speedwell Engineering in So Cal
