Yes, the red one in this thread is a Kellison which was a copy of the Ashley Mk1 front I believe, like this yellow one.
I was commenting on this blue one which must be a different thread and is now on eBay
And then there is this one that I am searching for ...... let me know if you have one !

The Blue one is a Denner and the red is a Peasmarsh. The Yellow is an Ashley.
You can see others documented on my web site here:

According to Jon Pressnell's book (Austin-Healey: The Bulldog Breed), Emil Frey was the Swiss importer of Sprites at the time and was offering this as early as 1960. There is a picture of the front of the Frey bonnet in the book. Seems Emil Frey is still in business.

Never seen one except in pictures. Very handsome, and quite in keeping with the rest of the body.
And interestingly, just discovered that the BJ8 built three car numbers after mine was dispatched originally to Emil Frey in Switzerland.
