The S Series, some Reliants and a recent discovery the Sunbeam Rapier have the filler cap below.
We are looking at the possiblility of having some remanufactured - do any wedges have this filler?

Chris,

Apart from my TVRs I also have a Scimitar.

If you are getting filler caps re-manufactured I would be interested in one.

FYI. I used to have an early 1980 280i with a very similar style filler cap, in fact two, one each side!!

I'm pretty sure the S1 280s had the seventies XJ6 caps...nice smile

I remember when I got my 280 the caps looked familiar, and I'd had a couple of XJs in the past.

These are XJ6 ones:

Looks the same as the White Elephant's filler cap:

Was thinking of having it re-chromed. Can you have locking ones made?

Cheers

I think the TVR ones were as used on the Spitfire.
