Folks,
I believe I just witnessed an original Lucas battery suitable for a TR6 
go
for over $1,100 in an auction on eBay.  I suppose it is dry charged so 
it  may
last a few years once charged, but WHY? If anyone can answer that  
question I
have an original tar top Lucas, never filled, suitable for the small  
Triumphs
ready for auction.

==AM==
Nowadays, it wouldn't surprise me to find out it was a bit of a con as 
Jack hinted at. Regardless, it reminds me of the short-lived hysteria 
on eBay several years ago over NOS and even USED Lucas sealed beam 
headlamp bulbs. If only I could have gotten in on some of THAT 
action.... ;-)
