    Answer: Lucas Electrics...

    Because pleats are "handed" it is easier to enter a right-hand-drive motor car without wadding up ones kilt. "Suicide" doors make entering and exiting even easier, provided they have some width at the bottom of the door. Interestingly Henry Royce preferred that the front doors be hinged at the front, and the rear doors hinged at the back-- in his opinion this was "a more companionable" arrangement.

    My preference for a kilted vehicle may be seen in my avatar. If I could figure out how to enlarge the thumbnail, I would. Perhaps, if Young Rathdown gets home any time soon, I will ask him to scan & download a couple of better photos.

    Oh, and why is it that if "Britannia Rules the Waves", her cars won't go through a mud puddle?
