I use to call them "Ree-Nalt Daphne" Found on side of roadways with rear lid up, a puddle of liquid underneath, or one corner sitting on the ground. They and Citroen were France's masterpieces of conservation. No workee no smogee.
I came to the conclusion in the mid 1960's that Lucas was a WW I "plant" by the Germans to collapse the British economy.
