Yesterday, I bought a vanload of coupe and HPE spares as I needed a few bits but they came in a job lot.
I'm in the process of identifying and grading everything to sell on e-bay after I take what I need but two things have me puzzled.
Item number one is a combined washer reservoir and radaitor overflow bottle in black and white and is a very large flat thing unlike anything I've seen before which leads me to believe it's from a HPE/VX.
Am I correct in thinking this?
Also, the head I got has a small distributor mounted on the end of the exhaust cam so IE head maybe?

Both, IE and VX versions have small distributors driven from an exhaust cam. There are two types of distributors with and without a vacuum advance element. My IE (early version) does not have it. As far as I know VXs have it.

Any chance of some pictures of these items to help us identify the parts?

I'll try but my resizing attempts usually result in the photo going "missing" from my files! Huh?

Looks like a Series 3 Fiat 131 combined radiator expansion and windscreen washer tank.
