[Healeys] Concours Question 6 cylinder Oil filler cap

[kags at shaw.ca]

Michael:

 

Just went out to the garage to check, and lo and behold, I have what must be the later type – the unpainted cap in your message - on my BJ8 – car # 42845 (Nov 1967).  I’ve owned the car for 42 years now – it’s highly likely (but not impossible) – based on the car’s overall condition when acquired - that the both valve cover and cap are original to the car.

 

Interesting!

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.



However I am fairly sure that the only original caps that I have seen on 6 cylinder engines look like this.



with the distinct "rim" around the edge.

 

Would appreciate anyone with a known original late BJ8 letting me know which type of cap is fitted to their car.

 

Many thanks
