Re:What's an SU?

A little bit of historical knowledge:

I had heard that the SU carburettor got its name from the Manufacturer,
Skinner's Union.  This was originally a leather working company (as the name
implies).  They got into the business because the bellows inside the carbs were
originally made of leather.
I have no idea if this is true or not, but it sounds good.
