Some manufacturers have an undeserved bad reputation.

Lucas is NOT one of them.

If Lucas didn't invent the melted wire harness in spite of specified fusing, they perfected it.

I'm thinking Mr. Short owns an older MG or Jag...or works on them.

The Minis look great, Miles. It won't be long before the weather is good enough to go out for a drive in yours.
