Yup - see below. 1967 GT6+ & 1968 Spitfire. Electrical Gremlins! All Lucas. Off Topic? Sorry... Richard Rose (Toledo, Ohio)

Hi all,
New member, been lurking for a little bit. Joined as an extension of the iBob list, to get more info re: classic bikes.
Quick question/comment:
Is this the same Lucas of British Leyland electrical fame (and I use the term very loosely, having owned a '75 Triumph Spitfire and a '74 MGB GT)? If so, the comments are well earned.
At least they're consistant.
