Lucas electronics no doubt!

I didn't see that coming. One of the most beautiful engines ever made. second to the flathead Ford.

Why do the English drink warm beer? They all have Lucas refrigerators.

Yes, "from these cars fall the finest electrical parts ever made by man!!"

LUCAS...oh,no...memories of my Austin-Healy!

Seems like a heck of a lot work when you could do a hot flathead instead.

IMHO, I think using that motor ruins the car. I'd rather see a SBC in there than that Jag motor.

I truly loved the LUCAS wiring and electrical's many years ago in my AH100 and Jag XKE - NOT!!!!!

 

[flatford8]

I rode Triumphs, BSA and Norton and don’t remember having issues with electrics..... or oil leaks..... Mark

I think if the engine was a foot further back and a six inches lower it might have been a good idea, but perched high and forward like that? The handling must have suffered.

Take a look at that throttle linkage set up.

 

[tubman]

I think the Strombergs save it.
