About 5 years ago I got some from Lucas in Bristol for about that. No
shortage - stock item. Should be with all the "BMC" (AMC etc)diesels being
imported new from India!

AFAIK the BMC engine is no longer being made in India.
Its main use was in the Ambassador (1959 Morris Oxford) car.
This body shell is now fitted with an Indian Mitsubishi engine which I
believe to be made in the old BMC engine factory.

Lets think - Supplier of BMC engines + a "herby flavour" . That's what we
got charged a couple of years ago. So pleased to hear about ASAP.
