Lucas Electric made famously unreliable electrical components for British cars, hence the OP’s title.
Aw. A generation ends. Admittedly, a generation of excitement generally caused by ‘Why is my electrical harness on fire?’

And i thought this was going to be about Peter Mandelson …
Lucas Industries was purchased by the US Varity Corporation in 1996 and the various arms spun off so if this is anything that was a part of the original Lucas it must be a very small part.
