The non  embossed "Lucas" distributor cap will get you a deduction  in
Concours.  Use of the "bumblebee" wires will do the same because  those wires
were not available until after the TR4A's production.   Those "bumblebee"
wires would probably help in Participant's Choice  balloting but if you are
in Concours stay with the black wires and the  embossed cap.

Well....
 
 
Lou, you could be correct about the availability of the "bumblebee"  
wires...in a way. However, my Lucas 400E Master Catalogue 1945-1960 lists the  
following "High Tension Cables" (all 7mm):
 
Black Standard Rubber
Black Neoprene
Yellow/Black Braided Glossy
 
and P.V.C. in Red, Black, Blue, Green, White, Yellow, Purple, Grey and  
Orange!
 
Wow. There are no pictures, though, and the book doesn't otherwise indicate  
if any of these wires was "branded" in any way.
