I know my cover should have a tall filler cap for starters. What else?

I've seen one for sale but it has the Aussie MOWOG logo, so that wouldn't be right would it?

The Cooper S rocker cover doesn't have anything on it , as the engines were still being sourced from England . The one with the map of aus and mowog came with the Clubman GT . Apparently they were swapped for the Clubman GT sometime after they arrived here , something to do with Aussie content .......

I really think they changed part way through the Mk1 S.

Isn't the Morris 1100S cover the same (Mowog Oz) sealed one?
If so I agree with M1100.

Yes ......the 1100 motors changed over to the mowog cover earlier , as they were being built here , whereas Cooper S motors were still imported from England , and the change didn't occur until later ( Clubman GT)

I think the 1100S was locally made from about mid 68.

But not sure if the sticker is 100% correct?
