My copy of The Standard Catalog says the 1956 cars (of which they built two) has quad headlights. |

What so special about Lucas headlights? |
|

They are bigger in diameter and of a different design than the normal fifties American light. |

And they're spectacularly badly built... |

The 65 year old Lucas lamps on my Bentley work perfectly, as do its dynamo, regulator and starter motor all of which are Lucas built and original. Don’t recycle cr-p you have read on websites, quote from experience, as and when you gain any. Lucas products are no better and no worse than any other manufacturer’s equipment, I can quote from experience of Bosch, Delco, Magnetti Marelli, Ducellier and Paris-Rhône, as well as Lucas over the past 52 years of driving. Can you? A picture of “spectacularly badly built” headlamps for your education. http://www.catalogue-host.co.uk/richardedmonds/2011-06-11/lot_36 Some more, from popular vehicles. Link to "www.hvauctions.com" I can’t offer any comment on Japanese electrical items, only having owned for a very short time one Japanese car, a 1979 Datsun 180B Estate. The only failures on the Korean Hyundai my mother had for ten years were electrical, the ignition coils and the starter motor requiring replacement. In the 60s 70s and 80s I trusted my life to Lucas lights on British cars, driving hundreds of thousands of miles to and from, and for, my work. I’m still here to tell the tale. -- Last edit: 2018-04-11 16:55:39 |
