John,

No, no! The Jaguars and the AH-Martins as well as Bentleys had the awful 
Lucas systems. Lucas was an Equal-Opportunity
purveyor of garbage.  They sold crap to Austin as well as Rolls Royce.

Some say that Labour Unions were the cause of the downfall of the UK 
automobile industry.  Not so!  It was Lucas.
