Not for the faint-hearted

On the final push to get everything ready for the car to go to the trimmers. I couldn’t help getting the engine started (still waiting on exhaust) I found the coil that came with the car. it STILL works. not bad for a 1952 lucas unit.!

Its a good feeling when the slumbering beast coughs into life!
Better carry a spare coil if you intend to use that one.
I found out the hard way that they can work when cold and sputter when warm.
Great looking woodwork.

Indeed Rob. I will not put it into use.

My Lucas 45012 coil still works perfectly after more than 60 years. I would paint it black and put it on the car (but carry a spare as Rob suggests).
