A friend has one,a 1967 coupe that no longer has Lucas electrics. He changed over about 7 years ago.

Lucas,(God of Darkness),gave him fits for a long time. He finally got tired of calling people,(me) to come and get him. I told him his next car should be a tow truck. :) :)

At that time,I had a 1970 Pontiac T/A. It had the Ram Air IV. It's the only car I ever regret selling. That's when GM used to sneak their back-room motors on the street. You just had to know which option boxes to tick off. Mine was from Royal Pontiac in Michigan. Look them up. Fascinating guys.

The XK-E is still one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
