I have a '52 seriesmm & the coil details are as follows
012 Lo
ER12V 852
(x) 45020B
the (x) above relates to a lucas emblem which looks like a ban the bomb sign from the '60's
852 relates to August 52
If you would like A photo send me your email address & I shall forward it on to you

Thank you Mike for posting that photo,I have learned that the coil number seems to be 45020 and sometimes a letter after the number I.e.A ,B...I have also heard the term long coil and short but do not really know what that means.Looks like someone does not have much faith in these original coils!

This one expired some years ago but I have another which I will test some time
