[Spridgets] Midget Mk I Interior Question

[Jay]

Until recently, I had a NOS factory rubber tunnel cover for a Midget Mk I in the 
original factory packaging, etc. On the left side was a circle over the area of 
the transmission fill plug. Unlike the Sprite Mk I tunnel cover which has the 
words "Lift To Fill", this circle was blank.

The tunnel cover was the variety which had the rough texture and a speckled 
color finish, not the ribbed cover that was used in the Sprites.

Does anyone have direct knowledge whether all of the Mk I Midget tunnel covers 
had a blank circle in this area or whether some had the wording "Lift To Fill"?

Ideally I would like to hear from someone with an original car with this same 
tunnel cover or if someone could direct me to a pic on the internet, or possibly 
a period picture. I've looked through my factory manuals, factory brochures, and 
books on Sprites and Midgets and unfortunately none have pictures of the left 
side of the mat.

Thanks in advance,
