Price List from R. G. Wheatley, head of the Sunbeam Tiger Division of
the Sunbeam Distributer, International Motors. :
"LAT 2 Dress-up Kit includes: Polished Aluminum Rocker Covers, Chrome
Dipstick, Air Cleaner (chrome), Radiator Cap, & Filler Cap. Dealer Net:
$66 , List Price: $86"

often specified closed breather cap to vent through the intake.
California was one. England was NOT, as well as many US States. This
could compound what the distributor had to do to his products before
sale. So, actual distributer practice would differ.
Thanks to David and Gary Franchi for this document.
