What vehicle is the best kilt accessory?

[O'Callaghan]

When I had my MGB I always thought of Lucas as the 'Prince of Darkness' - electrics always failed at the most inopportune times. Didn't have a kilt then but would imagine it would have been a struggle to get out with any sense of Decorum.

The title of Prince of Darkness belonged to Joe Lucas himself, the founder of the company. An old girlfriend of mine swore that Joe Lucas died in a motorcycle accident on the way to visit her grandfather. I always wondered if he came to grief because his lights failed?

She must have been a very old girl friend...

Joseph Lucas was born in 1834, and died of typhoid in Naples, Italy, in 1902 as a result of drinking contaminated water.

Lucas's products, when properly spec'd, rarely gave any problem-- both Rolls-Royce and Bentley made use of Lucas products. The problem arose when manufacturers would specify electrical parts built "down to a cost" rather than "up to the job".
