Well, that is one way to think about it. :-)
Don’t get me wrong, I have a soft spot for some British cars, but every friend or relative I have had who restored a vintage/classic Brit car told me that the first step was removing the unholy touch of Lucas.
I hear thats pretty much a given for a bike/car with their curse. I never had the pleasure of that pain. Thats what you pay a vegas hooker and a whip for ;)
