Sylva phoenix in Belgium

Well, I ve bought the sylva 1 year ago and have finally found this forum.
This was at the time of the registration in Belgium, the first phoenix imported in belgium. Our local dvla had to create the type/mark in their database and i had to wait 3 weeks to know if it was elligible for the road regsitering.
Car does have a 1600 cc kent engine with usual webers. Old style bonnet , so low that the oil plug on the top of the valve cover is not present.
I do love light car and this one is too nice to race it , so right now, searching another one to race some hillclimb's here.
Cheers to all of you

Hey welcome from another relative new member. Nice and clean phoenix you have there!

out of interest, how is the valve cover closed when the plug is missing?
