New distributor caps for older British cars are cheap. We sell new repro ones for $20 each. But they are made of very thin plastic and simply don't measure up to the original bakelite items like this one. It was probably made in the 1960s or 1970s.  It is not Lucas-marked but comparable in quality. We also stock new premium red rotors, points and condensers; see Related Products below or contact us.

This is a brand new vacuum-style replacement distributor for a Lucas 25D4 style dizzy, as used in most MGAs and MGBs up to 1974.

We sell brand new Lucas ignition switches as well as lock inserts with keys. These are fine and work well, but the keys are marked LUCAS and are a different shape and keyway from the original Wilmot Breeden Union lock cylinder and keys. We have a very limited supply of brand new old stock units, all with the FS keyway. They were probably made in the 1960s or early 1970s by Wilmot Breeden in England. These cylinders are very rare, especially in new, unused condition, and once they are gone, we...
