Default Remote oil filter - originality 'compliant'?

What's the thinking on originality for remote oil filters on 289 cars? Did any of the race cars have this feature?
I'm 'over' horizontally fitted filters, fitted low down where accessibility isn't good, that piddle hot oil and make a mess when removing.
Thoughts of the desirablility of a remote filter emerged again while changing the oil and filter on my ol' girl (Alfa) and as usual, hot oil everywhere no matter how quickly I try to spin off that filter.
So....is it kosher, what sort should I be looking at and where should it be mounted?
Cheers,
Glen
