Let me guess, it was a Lucas.
Old joke, Why do the British drink warm beer?
Lucas refrigerators.
Speaking of which, I was looking at a C36 the other day, and what did I
see? A Lucas vacuum booster behind the master cylinder! Did AMG actually
use a Lucas part? I didn't know that Lucas made any working parts. At
least it seemed that way when I would help out friends with their
Triumph's years ago.

My 1968 Rover TC2000 was a lovely car that ran like
a top, once I swapped out the generator for a GM alternator.

Ok, we all know the horror stories from the past -
but today?
Today quality is something which can be produced
(or NOT) everywhere so I do not see any reason
a British-built car _must_ be inferior to a -
say - German built car.

Simply because it's built in Germany and not England. Ever owned a
British-made car? Now we're talking serious wallet fatigue from repairs!

I agree. One of the ugliest cars ever made. Who in his right mind
would buy one of those instead of a Bentley or Rolls?

Certainly one of the ugliest vehicles I have ever seen... Including the Pacer.

Hello all,
Last Saturday, I tested the 57 MAYBACH. I thought it was interesting. I was
wondering if anyone had the pleasure?
I will post a brief on my experience, within week or so.
Regards,
Jayanthan (Jay) Bala.
