Oh, and
never mention Lucas electrics to an American!
Lucas is the god of SUDDEN DARKNESS!

We called the company "Lucas, the Prince of Darkness."
Don't know if the reliability is any better now than during the late-70's
to early-80's when I replaced nearly every electrical item made by Lucas on
a Triumph Spitfire. Whereever possible I replaced it with something _not_
made by Lucas. For the sake of UK highway safety I hope it has
improved. One does not own a sports car with these British classics, one
owns a hobby that requires continuous tinkering. :-)
