Peter - not the 'Lucas' of Joseph Lucas & Sons, founded 1872, legendary "Prince of Darkness" for British automotive electrical equipment ?!?

CAV was founded by Charles Anthony Vandervell (1870-1955) and bought by Lucas in 1926.

Lucas Industries absorbed by North American Varity Corp. in 1996.

Likely, the Austin Gypsy had Lucas Electrics ?

Above information, available from the World-Wide Web.

For anyone who has not met "Lucas Electrics" (er, I have!); just Search-Engine it, sit back and enjoy.....
