Don't fill the radiator all the way to the top. Mine never overflows.

You can use any kind of container (Stainless steel, brass, plastic, 
glass) providing it has a screw top that can be drilled to receive a 
tube from the radiator overflow. The position of the overflow tank is 
not important so you can fit it low down well out of sight. Make sure 
the the hose/tube from the radiator overflow ends about a quarter inch 
from the bottom of the container. Also drill a small vent hole in the 
top. Make sure the radiator cap seals airtight, which usually means that 
you have to make up a thin stiff rubber/fibre washer between cap and 
radiator neck. Fully fill up the radiator and fill up the container 
about half full. Check and fill up regularly after the first few trips.

Forgot to mention that the contents of about 1 liter should be sufficient.

Let it overflow. Once it reaches the level of about one inch below the rim =
it will not over flow any more. But make sure you have the proper radiator =

Don't the caps used with an overflow system require a check valve, to pull the overflowed coolant back into the radiator as it cools? 

Dunno if you can find the right size cap for a Healey rad with such a check valve.

The BN6 does not have a radiator overflow and leaves a big puddle in the garage after every drive. 

My brother, the hot rodder, suggested a thin chromed overflow canister available at most rod shops and amazon. I am not sure if there is enough room and it would look to out of place.

One note on overflow bottles.
For a NON PRESSURIZED  coolant recovery system to work there must be a seal=
 between the very top of the radiator neck and the cap.
The hose for non pressurized systems connect to the radiator above the pres=
sure seal of the cap.
Many older caps have only a brass plate inside the top of the cap which wil=
l not seal effectively against the  radiator neck preventing adequate low p=
ressure to develop in the upper portion of the neck  to draw coolant back u=
p from the recovery tank.

You can use any kind of container (Stainless steel, brass, plastic, glass) =
providing it has a screw top that can be drilled to receive a tube from the=
 radiator overflow. The position of the overflow tank is not important so y=

the radiator overflow ends about a quarter inch from the bottom of the cont=
ainer. Also drill a small vent hole in the top. Make sure the radiator cap =

Hmmmmmmmmm ... right after I sent this I realized ALL caps probably have this valve, else the rad tank could collapse from the vacuum created as the coolant cools down.

That Midget overflow tank is a surge tank system which I prefer to a
regular overflow.
What I have done on a couple of LBCs is to install a flat cap off an Austin
America (Looks like a rad cap from the top, just has a gasket underneath)
Then I would run the hose over to a surge tank, I used to get ones of a
early 1970s Volvo 140 series they were tall round and would mount right
next to the radiator on the core support.  You then put your pressure cap
on the surge tank.
I liked the Volvo bottles because they were nylon and you can look through
them and see the coolant level.
