A friend's MGA

Not a big fan of these, but John has a nice one. He has had it since it was about 2 yrs old.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

My brother had one back in the day. I got to drive it a lot. They were a real sports car and a blast to drive and look at. They, also, had Lucas electrics.

A friend in high school bought one for a few hundred $$$ in the last 1960s, early 1970s. It turned out to be a special DOHC version that would be big money today....quite rare.

Lucas Electrics! An abomination. If you ever dealt with them you would understand.

Sorry, but I have to...….

U know why the Brit's like their beer warm?

'cause Lucas also makes refrigerators...

There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.

I am well acquainted with Lucas electrics. I rode Triumph and Norton motorcycles and had an Austin Healy Sprite when I was in college.

The Concorde was a French/British joint venture with the French supplying the airframe and the Brits supplying the instruments and electrics. Lucas electrics and Smiths instruments on the Concorde--it is a real wonder we didn't lose one.

A few years ago I was in the Snap-On truck + ended up buying a complete set of Snap-On Wentworth wrenches + sockets for a bargain basement price since no body here has any use for them (or even know what they are).The dealer was glad to move them.
