Lucas ceased trading years ago. They were bought out - by of

TRW, AFAIK.

Bought out by a Canadian company afair, who only
wanted the car parts side, so later sold the
aerospace business to TRW.

Don't think they are now in the automotive field.

"Lucas Aerospace". Be afraid. Be very afraid.

TRW then sold it to the US aerospace company, Goodrich.

I used to do work for Lucas Aerospace, Hemel, and then
for Goodrich when they moved to Pitstone Green. Say
what you like about the old Lucas Industries but some
of their recent aerospace kit (the A380 generators and
control electronics for example) is impressive by any
standards.
