Re: [Tigers] Tudor bottle

RE MKII bottles, there were evidently two versions with the final cars using
an even shorter, fatter, now impossible to find, version with plastic nipple. 
IF you can find one expect to pay (you ready for this) about $1000.00!  I know
because I bought one for my car.  If your MKII has one, treat it gently. 
Jeez, AC Cobra parts aren't even this crazy.

Thank you,

Sunbeam Specialties has the rootes specific Tudor bottle. The MKI/IA
Tigers used the tudor bottle with ROOTES embossed into it.. as per the
current hillmans, singers, commers and Alpines. Also SIV used the
rootes ones.

The early SI/II alpines used the tudor bottle with a blue tudor label
screen printed on it.

Lots of british cars used the tudor bottles.. but be careful.. there
were many different sizes... the MKII Tiger used a shorter wider Tudor
bottle that is specific to it (at least in regards to sunbeams)

Ricks rpero bottles are great.. but you need to use your metal nib and
hose from your existing bottle.
