What!?! Lucas wiring is troublesome?? /s
I have no idea how much of that VW/Bradley GT wiring remained in this electric conversion. I was thinking just in ease of working in the engine compartment. That GT6, the whole bonnet tilts off, like it’s Jag big brother, for complete access.
I’ve seen GM small block conversions of that GT6. Lot’s of fun.
BTW I bought one many years ago that a guy was using as a dog house.
It took almost a year to get it ship shape.
Yeah, you're right. If Lucas Electronics were buggy, they would give it a clever nickname, like the Prince of Darkness.
If I ever free up the time to do an auto restoration, a GT6 would be high on my list of possible projects (competing with the early versions of a Bronco, Scout, or Falcon, a GPW, or a TR7 (have to admit, I always loved the wedge)).
