Series III bonnet question

I don’t know Series III’s much at all. Is the center bonnet section and roll pan the same as Series II? I know the fenders aren’t the same.

A pre1973 centre section ought to be the same. After that, it’ll have holes either side of the opening for the rubber bumper crash bars and the seam between it and the underpan accommodates the bumper crash bar hardware in a flared out horizontal flange between the two panels on the US spec’ version.

The s3 underpan has a chin scoop. It also may then have holes for the crash bars.

The inner panels which are Sikaflex’d to the bonnet are all different as the v12 engine is wider than the 6 cylinder engine. There is more than one version of these on the right hand side, the change being when cabin ventilation was introduced.

Thanks very much. I suspected they’d try to save some money on the 3’s if they could.
