My first car was a very used 1953 MG TD so I became very well versed in the purchasing and stockpiling Lucas generators voltage regulators etc. That was because it took about 2 months to get them. At times the formula ----One hour driving = one hour working on the MG wasn't really true but -----one day driving = one day waiting for parts did come closer. Does anyone else remember "Babbet bearings." Anyway when years later I saw a bumper sticker that cracked me up upon reading for the first time the now famous question. WHY DO THE ENGLISH DRINK WARM BEER? BECAUSE THEY HAVE LUCAS REFRIGERATORS. As to the thought that --Maybe we need to start a separate category for British riding Luger collectors?
DJU . Hey every Luger collector I have met is a separate category. They are all extremely interested in something else also be it history, English motorcycles parrots, the holocaust, or old pens with pictures of naked women in the key hole. Bob
