If you never downloaded the El Capitan installer, there is no way for you to get El Capitan for that Mac. It can run Sierra, so that is all that will be available. You can try the link that Carolyn provided, but it is for Mac's that cannot run Sierra or are running Snow Leopard, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work.
