The 1965 Series V Humber Imperial had a positive earth Lucas alternator
model 10AC (the 1965 Super Snipe Series V still had positive earth
generator). I go to great lengths to tell any auto electrican who goes near
my Imperial that it is positive earth and repeat it at frequent intervals to
be sure he doesn't connect something the wrong way. The Series VA went to a
negative earth alterator on both the Imperial and Super Snipe.
