The book I purchased was the Lucas 3 (1969).  I still haven't had
a chance to really look through it yet.  However, much to my dismay
there is NO mention of a Morgan of any type or year.  As for Daimler
it lists the V8 250 Saloon (no year), the Sovereign (See Jaguar 420),
the Limousine (Automatic).  The section that lists the various items
for the various cars is 106 pages.  The remaining pages (at least 
300) have pictures of all the Lucas items.  Ammeters, Alternators, 
Voltage Regulators, Generators, Distributors, Headlights, Sundry 
lamps (ie. tail, license plate, parking, turn signal lights), 
Starters, Wipermotors, and injection pumps.

The print quality is excellent, paper weight if good.

The book comes a pages prepunched for a 3 ring binder.  However, I'll
put each page in a sheet protector before I put it in a binder.  Saves
wear and tear on the pages.

Hope this helps some,

John
