It appears that main problem with classic British built cars was in their electrical systems. Why on earth did the car manufacturers continue to use Lucas electrical components? Maybe some of our British friends here know the answer.

FWIW to give the devil his due, I always felt that Lucas did build a good magnito for the Matchless and Norton twin cylinder motorcycle engines I became familiar with.
