The car sounded great until the muffler fell off. Lucas electrical components were both a joke and a mystery at the same time, ( my electric overdrive
had a mind of it's own ). It was a beautiful car though and I wish I had it
today.  |
In college I had an Alpha Romeo [insert several more names here] Spyder. It came "equipped with Magnetti Morreli ignition. MM stole discarded, failed, Lucas drawings out of their trash and used that to "design" their ignition. If there was a hint of fog in the morning or any amount of moisture in the air, I learned to not even try turning the key. Open the trunk, get out the "Wet Start' and spray the entire engine bay. Girls just loved that burnt waxy smell!!
