 Yes, except that most Lucas  parts are rebadged Bosch and AC-Delco
parts.  The problem is that the British can't take an idea of the chalk
board and engineer anything that actually works!
(i.e. beutifull designs, lousy application.)  Ever check out the wiring
harness on something as simple as an MGB or Jag XKE?  It is a
nightmare.  and why?  No power windows, cruise control, etc.
I have always thougt that they should send there basic designs over to
Germany and let them engineer and build the cars! ;)
