Hi Paul,
 
I have no hard data on this subject but I think we'd all be surprised to
find out exactly how many there still are. 
 
Our little club "The Vancouver Pre `56 MG Touring and Grazing Society" has
at least seven and I personally know of two more in town that are not on the
road but undergoing perpetual restoration.  There are undoubtedly more
stashed away in garages around here. I have no reason to think Vancouver is
exceptional in its LBC / population ratio.
 
I'd love to know the exact number.  I attribute the surprising longevity and
resilience of the TC to it's wonderful propensity to rustproof itself.
Those MG engineers thought of everything!
 
Cheers
