The V12 Jag used mostly Lucas Electrical components. Lucas, the Prince of Darkness.

The above cap is likely off an Italian car, Ferrari or Maserati.

No, sorry, that’s definitely from a Jaguar, they used Marelli as well as Lucas of course.

Caddy actually had two V16s, a narrow V overhead valve one (the pretty one everyone loves,) and a rarer, very wide V flathead version.
Marmon had a V16 too, all aluminum, made about 30% more power than caddy's version.
