For some reason, the British have never perfected the starter.

Did Lucas manufacture the starter? If so, that explains it.

Why do the British drink warm beer? Because they all have Lucas refrigerators.

” the British have never perfected the starter.”

My understanding is the Brits have had lotsa trouble in the mechanical field. I’d like to buy an old TR7, but from what I’ve read, they were troublesome. Similar stories with other old British cars.

Wife wants an original VW Bug, I think she’ll win out. Fewer mechanical problems, parts easier to find.
