"My SII has the original bottle still in the bracket which is in the corner
on the right side of the car between the inside right fender and the
firewall. Pardon my innocence but I don't know what a "Tudor bottle" is.
The bottle in mine is a cream colored (yellowed white?) plastic bottle (ca.
1L) with ROOTES embossed in it. If you need a picture, I can send a
polaroid via snail mail."
***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 7/1/96 2:59p
A "Tudor" bottle is the later washer bottle that has "Tudor" in blue on
the bottle. There is no embossed "ROOTES". Series V's had a rubber/vinyl
bag with two holes on top that hooked into two hooks on the left front of
the engine compartment. I understand that the Tiger switched from the
Rootes bottle to the Tudor bottle in 1966, and then to a slightly
different Tudor bottle with larger diameter in 1967. I don't know how
that corresponds to the Alpine. I can see from some pictures I have, a
Series III and a Series IV that have the Tudor bottle in the right rear of
the engine compartment. James has the Rootes bottle in his Series II as
original. So, I guess that just leaves what the Series I came with,
unless there were changes within models, which wouldn't be surprising.
