Ahhh… I remember working on a friend’s MGB that had one of those Lucas electrical systems.
The joke was “Why do the British drink warm beer?”
“Because Lucas wired their refrigerators.”
Damn, that’s a revelation. I’ve been shopping for my dream car for a decade now:
“Ok, so someday when I’ve saved enough… I’ll get a Toyota GR Supra with modern tech. Wait, no, now I want a totally low-tech Miata, first generation…”
And it hasn’t cost me a penny!
