Dave, not only are some modern starters permanent magnet, but it appears I
was wrong about Lucas not making any. See
http://www.delphidiesel.com/CatNo%20XCA160C.pdf
for a Lucas caution about accepting PM starters for return, and
http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2001/08/ministarter/
for a nice description of the permanent magnet starters.
I still don't believe Triumph ever used any of these, the magnet technology
wasn't discovered until sometime in the 80's ...

I stand by my previous statement. It's just that I didn't know about these
before. Note that this is a gear reduction starter and the motor is a high
speed, low torque motor as opposed to the old direct drive which requires
much more torque from the electric motor. I wonder if Ted's starters are
PM?
And indeed, they weren't used in Triumphs. Especially on any model where
one would consider changing from positive ground.
