IME Lucas electrical components are total *crap.* Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: They have Lucas refrigerators. and so on. Indeed. |

On the other hand, it means that British sports cars have an excellent safety record. Hard to have a crash when the car is up on a lift.

It's tragic, really. With very few exceptions, the actual mechanical engineering on British cars is typically of a very high standard. The overall product, however, is let down by Lucas electrics (where used) and not terribly good rust-prevention treatment (which is unforgiveable in a climate like ours). |
