This old Stirling driver laughed out loud. The Lucas plugs didn't get a buildup on them that lowered the spark, which was what happened to the Champions. US avgas was used everywhere else - the Med, Pacific, etc.
As a teen in the mid sixties my dad and I visited a Mercedes dealer and sat in a second hand Mark 2 Jaguar. The leather and instrument panel are cherished memories.
Imagine—something electrical from Lucas actually working (said the old Jaguar owner).

By the way, that was an inspirational essay. Thank you.
