What remains of "Lucas" is no more Lucas than AT&T is AT&T or Evinrude
is Evinrude. The three corporations some might remember favorably or not
died or were sold off in pieces, and the new corporations that use those
names simply bought the names.

Yeah, about 20 years ago, an Italian firm called Magnetti Mirelli
bought a couple of Lucas assembly plants in England. That was like
two drunks tying themselves together to see if they could stagger
straight.

Now some of Lucas has been bought out by the premium company, Nippon
Denso. That's like Rockwell Int'l buing out Briggs & Stratton. A lot
of 'Denso' products are still the same crappy Lucas design.

I'm still trying to figure that one out.
