I am sure there are pictures in Healey books and brochures, road tests etc. of original engine bays. We are actually enjoying holidays in Scotland, so can't have a look from my side.

Thanks Josef, I will make some more enquiries about caps on original earlier 6 cylinder cars.
<div dir="auto">
Do you have any examples of known originals?

As far as I can determine from the responses that I have received the "rimmed" style of cap was most likely the only type that was available during the production period.
<div dir="auto">
It seems fairly certain that the other "rimless" style only became available in later years.

Many thanks to all who took the time to respond to my oil cap question.
<div dir="auto">
It seems that the original type, with only 1 exception, is the "rimmed" cap.

We will be updating the Concours Guidelines appropriately.

I have been asked a question by a gentleman restoring a late BJ8 about oil filler caps.

The cap on his car is of this type and he is fairly sure that it is original.
