And in days of old, the cautionary statement that came with all British
otorcycles that were
quipped with Lucas ignition and electrics:
"Never venture farther than you were willing to push it
ack home."

Isn't the inscription below the Lucas Family Crest "Home before dark"?
Isn't the Lucas Vacuum Cleaner the only Lucas product that didn't suck??
So now you want Headlights.
Headlights that actually work??
Buy a Mazda MX5. Or just drive in the daylight like tens of thousands of
Healey owners have for 50 odd years.
So you want a great looking car, awesome exhaust noise, performance that
still
mixes it with traffic 50 years later - and headlights???
Next you'll want a heater. And a horn. And a light on the boot....
Home before dark.
And think yourself lucky you have a generator. And you don't have to hand
crank the starter......
