[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 133666, member: 58"] Having scanned all the series A and pre A works records and entered them into the database I can say with high confidence I have never seen a series A single in the factory records that used Lucas lights, but I'm sure somebody will now prove me wrong. The very early series A singles used BTH electrics but BTH didn't actually make the lights that they provided, those were made by Powell & Hanmer (P&M) in Birmingham. Around 1936 this changed to Miller ignition and lighting but in 1937 there was a batch of singles made with Miller lighting and BTH mag dyno, so they must have been using up the stock of BTH parts. The only series A machines I have ever come across with Lucas lights was the Rapide. Simon [/QUOTE]
