What years and models had the "open cap slowly" stencil?

Post by BrianHawley »

Could one of the gurus tell me which years and models had the "open cap slowly" stencil next to the radiator?

Thanks!

By no means a guru but my '57 saloon had a very faded stencil on it when i bought it in 1978. Looking at Ray Newell's book it is not clear as most of the photos of engine bays do not show the stencil.

I think the MM had a bigger radiator header tank and no fan blade shelf for the stencil to go on.

The Series II / III photos show the shelf just black. There is a photo of a post 63 minor with the stencil. None of the photo's of the LCV's in various guises seems too show the stencil. I have seen them in various fonts.

Anyone know more ?
