V12 Le mans oil filler cap , whats it worth ?

I Have a genuine Jaguar V12 Le Mans oil filler cap , the screw on type

what do you think its worth ,

i have fitted it to my engine, but i'm not liking the look as it doesn't fit with my styling ( its not a Le Mans )

i am after a later ' Jaguarsport ' one for my car as seen on the later 6ltr V12 ,

there are, as far as i know, four types available,
the Black
the Red
the Jaguarsport
and the Le Mans

i also have several Red ones , and not repainted but in the original enamel finish

BB,

Is that oil filler cap fitted to the Lister XJS Le Mans? I recently did an inspection on a 2nd series (1990) standard XJS Le Mans and it had the red oil filler cap.

It seems you are to V12 oil filler caps what I am to Enots brass grease guns....
