That's the battery style for a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, and when I went
looking for one last year, it appeared they were NLA. If any one knows
where they can be had, I sure would like to know. Somebody also sold a
kit with just the Lucas raised panel and replacement caps to add to a
modern battery, but they also appear to be NLA. There were a lot of
different Lucas battery sticker designs - curiously the one offered by
XKS was never used on a Jaguar I don't believe, and don't know if it's
correct for a Tiger. I need to poke through my TBON to see if there are
any pictures of an original battery.
