There was at least one design change for these filler caps during the MGB-GT
V-8 production run - chrome bumper cars had grey colored caps and rubber
bumper cars had orange ones. Also, according to Malcolm Beer, there may
have been grey painted aluminum as well as plastic coated aluminum ones as
well.
Which color do you need? I may have a spare grey painted one.
Cheers,
Paul Kile

Mine (factory car) is plastic-coated (orange) steel. I needed a new one as
I (ahem) allowed it to fall onto a manifold unnoticed where it proceeded to
melt off all the plastic. My usual V8 parts man Clive Wheatley said they
are NLA, but sent me a used one which was in very good condition. I still
have the old one - "If you haven't found a use for something yet, you
haven't kept it long enough."
