[Tigers] Lucas Batteries

[Chris Thompson]

That's the battery style for a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, and when I went 
looking for one last year, it appeared they were NLA.  If any one knows 
where they can be had, I sure would like to know. Somebody also sold a 
kit with just the Lucas raised panel and replacement caps to add to a 
modern battery, but they also appear to be NLA.  There were a lot of 
different Lucas battery sticker designs - curiously the one offered by 
XKS was never used on a Jaguar I don't believe, and don't know if it's 
correct for a Tiger.  I need to poke through my TBON to see if there are 
any pictures of an original battery.
