I received an email from the Morgan Sports Car Club that said inter alia:
I wish to take this opportunity to address a misleading rumour that has been circulating, to which some of you referred in your responses: a report that the defective component was made in India. We were told that this is NOT the case: it was made by a reputable UK supplier.
So how does that tally with the message my friend sent me for his plus four, as follows: “Out of interest I have just taken down all the Makers info off the Brake servo and pump cylinder. Exactly as Printed on the servo, it reads: “trenos IRUNA BRAKES/ REF PROVEEDOR 6107095/MADE in CEE LOTE No 1100.” On the master cylinder body it reads “LB095L 007A”. Doesn’t look very British to me!

It says "reputable UK supplier" which could mean a reputable company that supplies the UK, rather than a UK company?

Cee is a town in Spain. Lote means batch in English, according to Google translate

Iruna are well known for their boosters and servos (and are fitted to a lot of vehicles) and as far as I'm aware there are no issues with the servo. I wonder if the 'LB' code on the master cylinder stands for 'Lucas Braking'? Lucas still exist under the TRW banner. That would tie in with the UK supplier bit?

I am with TBM & Gambalunga on this. I think any “Lucas” stuff uses the TRW logo.

I think you will find CEE is a collective name of the old Eastern European Block of the former Soviet Union
