Trevor, I alway expect your input but, while I didn't qualify my remarks, I
did at least make a definitive statement - which you have chosen to
disagree with without explanation. Granted I've made a sweeping statement
but I did so on the basis of considerable experience with many of the cars
in question and I have owned cars (and motorcycles) from 12 different
countries representing a span of some 50 years. I have restored all or
part of some 50 machines of which 15 were LBCs. I'm sorry that I didn't
indicate the reason for my remarks.
