Correct cam covers for Series 1 1/2?

Hi - I've had a good look round the forum but can't see an answer to this one. Can anybody tell me when the cam covers were changed from smooth to ribbed (or point me in the right direction if this has been answered already?) I've read the JCNA version of the S1 1/2 (ie the '68 MY) but there are ple...

Chrome or painted wires?

Can anyone tell me whether painted wires were still available even as an option once the 'flat hub' wires were introduced?

Thanks both Being a London registered car, I guess I will need to track down the GLC archives. It's a 1967 S1 1/2 FHC, dark blue (although was not always!), reg ULU540F. First owner was in Sunderland. The car was apparently used for hillclimbing in the 1970's, possibly in Yorkshire. Any clues or inf...

Thanks for the post. Yes, I have everything DVLA can provide.

All the Henly's references I can find lead to the lquidator's office in Cannon St, London. Maybe that is worth a go

Help with research please!

I'm new to the forum and looking for some help with researching the history of my car as I've come to something of a loose end.
