#REDIRECT [[Lucas Industries]] |

'''Lucas Automotive''' was a famous manufacturer of automotive components for the motor industry. |
|||
Founded by Joe Lucas, the company was best known for automotive electrical components such as [[alternator]]s, [[windshield wiper]] motors, [[starter motor]]s [[etc]]. |
|||
In the [[United States]], during the [[1960s]], the legendary unreliability of Lucas electrics fitted to imported British cars such as [[Jaguar (car)|Jaguar]]s and [[Rover (car)|Rover]]s led to the coining of the nickname - "Joe Lucas - Prince of Darkness" |
|||
After a series of [[merger]]s and take-overs, the remains of Lucas, then LucasVerity were taken over by the US company [[TRW]] in 1999 |
