The description by the seller got a little scrambled, I think, but I =
believe he was saying the part was an "option" available only on =
French-spec cars. From my efforts over the last 18 years to document =
all the BJ8s in the world, I believe the part was not an "option", but =
was another one of those requirements imposed by French law on =
automotive design, such as yellow headlamps, ignition suppression =
system, clear brake fluid reservoir, etc. The distributor shield was =
likely a part of the ignition suppression equipment, which is noted on =
many BMIHT certificates for French-spec cars (only). It's not on all of =
them, but that may also be because BMIHT is frequently inconsistent in =
the way they list (or do not list) the equipment installed on a car at =
the factory. I can't imagine why only French buyers would "opt" (or =
would need to "opt") for ignition suppression equipment.
