737Jock Wtf... Are you guys on about?
Jock,- It's a bit of naus-o-stalgia, really....the Jap cars were starting to become european -styled and gaining foothold, but the vast majority of vehicles were BMC,(Morris AustinWolseley Riley) (MOWOG
) Standard-Triumph (Stanpart)
Ford (Enfo or FoMoCo) Vauxhall..Jaguar. Apart from Vauxhall Using AC-Delco/Delco-remy, and Ford using some Fomoco stuff, Lucas had a monopoly supply
of electrics the vast majority of alternators, starters, distributors switches and lights were theirs. design was , by-and- large fairly good. Execution was usually pretty poor.
Hence we take the rise out of their slogan "Lucas King of the Road"
All gone now, latterly owned by Delphi (who kept the flame flickering with their god-awful injector-pumps)..last I heard, they'd gone as well.
Indeed, the "Great" has gone from Great Britain
