You are looking at a couple hundred. Even more for a new one from Burtons.

Just expect it to leak quite abit,they never really have had success with cast alloy cam covers for pintos,use plenty of silicon

Yes ,Burtons would be you best bet,in the UK they will freight it to you.

I had an Cast Alloy Rocker Cover on my old 2 Litre Ghia. I got it from a place called 4 Plus Performance and it had to be sealed with Silicon. I can't remember how much it cost.

You might get one on pommy ebay, you might have to
be patient, one will probably appear eventually but if
you have the money and want it, go new.

The ones with FORD on are rare as they were an aftermarket cam cover available in the 70's. The burton ones have BURTON not FORD on and are very expensive $300+ freight.
Of the topic, but.....I have just got back from the UK. I was planning to bring back lots of parts but it is actually cheaper to buy direct from supplier on the net and get them to post it. Anything over 2kg cost about 50 quid ($100) to send via UK post.
