I hope he was properly prepared. Why do the owners of British cars wear driving gloves? So they can rip the burning wiring harness from under the dash (before it sets the car afire) without burning their hands. Ask me how I know (Triumph TR4).

I've owned several and still own one British vehicle. The reason the British drink room temperature beers is that Lucas makes refrigerators.

The theory and practice is that it's all done with smoke. As long as one keeps the smoke inside the insulation, things work. As you've probably noticed, once the smoke gets out, things quit. Electrical tape was invented to help keep the smoke in should it try to escape. Tape it up and things work again.

And if too much gets out and needs replacement, there’s a Lucas part number for that:

You would think that a foggy and rainy country could do better.

I don't know. My old '67 E-type always seemed to run better when the weather was damp.

God I miss that car.

A wonderful and beautiful car despite the Lucas electricals.

My 59 MGA turned belly up whenever it rained. Just had to wait until it dried out again. Ever try to disassemble and reassemble a side draft carb?
