OK, a simple one:

What component supplier to MG was often referred to as the "Prince of Darkness"?

Ironic as they produced the 'King of the Road'



'Will not blow out' tail lights :lol:

Is that your answer? Or a clue?

:dry: still deciding, depends on me finding the next question in the next 15 mins or not :bust:

Bump, anyone want to get in before Paul scores another win?

Lucas?

Correct! Mainly owing to the poor lighting on classic MGs, I believe.

Next question, please.

Joseph Lucas, the founder of Lucas Industries was humorously known as the Prince of Darkness in North America, because of the electrical problems common in Lucas-equipped cars, especially British Leyland products.

Whether the fault lay with Lucas or British Leyland cost-cutting is open to dispute. As Joseph Lucas died in 1902 and British Leyland was not formed until 1968, some 66 years later, this title is undeserved.

This perception is also be connected with early supply problems of "King of the Road" lighting products within the North American Markets during the early 1900s, and also be attributed to the reputation that in vehicles the company used small gauge wiring, which tended to wear out or corrode quickly.

Well done John, another win to you.

I remember (un) fondly the Lucas petrol injection system fitted to 6 cyl Triumph engines: 'nuff said! :sick:
