That is the most expensive Austin A60 grille I've ever seen, it has nothing to do with 8EMO, although it's true to say some of the works cars used chopped A60 grilles, notably AJB44B & CRX89B, but at one time GRX311D had an A-H Sprite grille 'adapted' to fit, but that doesn't make every A-H Sprite grille genuine GRX311D. I hate this kind of thing on ebay, I sell a lot of stuff on there, it's a useful facility but it depends on honesty & integrity. I bet it won't sell!
See photo of 8EMO on the 1963 RAC Rally, although partly covered, there is obviously a Morris Cooper S Mk1 grille, although as was customary, cut in half vertically.

Slightly O/T but look how much better the Mini's wheels stay at the correct angle compared to the VW!
