What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Now that I’m able to talk with friends in the U.K. , I have to ask, was Lucas Electrical the only company that made electrical systems for British vehicles and bikes during the 50s thru the 70s or were they just the best company making them at that time ?

I’m trying to remember who supplied the parts for the Royal Mail bantams in the 70s,,I was a telegram delivery boy when I was 16,,will try lookout a pic ,,happiest days of my long service

Lucas or Wico Pacy. Almost all British cars and bikes then had Lucas electrics, and post war Brit bikes were almost always fitted with the dreaded Amal eccentric carburettors. Yes I know I didn't spell that right.

My Five Star G-1 gathered lots of attention at Melun Airshow this week-end. At least 5 different people asked me the reference of the maker.
