There are some possibility critical differences for dating the cars in the photos

Jeff's car has later side lights and if the semaphore indicators are original then the car would be later than early 1933

This is from memory, all my references are in store

hope it helps

Jess,

Yes, number 1 piston is traditionally at the front and number 6 near the firewall.

Re the radiator cap you require - Austin Reproduction Parts Ltd produce new ones for the 16/6 (sixteenth item down - Rad Cap 12/4 16/6) - however I suggest you email Willie McKenzie the owner of Austin Repro and send him photos of your car to confirm that the cap he manufactures will fit your model. You'll notice Austin Repro's list also contains many other parts for the six cylinder cars - again check with Willie before ordering to make sure they are the correct parts for your car.

Have just noticed, the photos I posted earlier in the thread of the blue 1933 16/6 Open Road Tourer registration VE 8616 appears to be fitted with a Boyce Motor Meter (a water temperature gauge) and Calometer Wings in place of the standard radiator cap - it would appear that Austin Repro also stock these new reproduction parts.
