The following is the compilation of the 1992 SOL survey. It's fairly long,
so I hope nothing gets truncated. The survey is available on Hoosier,
as /pub/sol/1992.SOL.survey, but I'm also mailing it so that people without
FTP access can enjoy it, too.
And now, some exciting (but not necessarily accurate, grep being what it
is) trivia:
113 Survey respondants in 6 countries
80 Triumphs
26 Austins/AHs
21 MGs
16 Lotuses
9 Jaguars
5 Morris
3 Land Rovers
2 Daimlers
2 Jensen-Healeys
2 Rolls Royce/Bentley
2 Shelby Cobras
2 Sunbeams
1 Aston Marin
1 Leyland
1 Reliant
1 Riley

BMW 732i 81 3 195,000 miles, runs and
looks very nice. Has
a couple of rust spots
and a worn spot in the
driver's seat. Quite
possibly the best car
I've ever owned.
Volvo 240 Diesel 84 2 Virtually as new, except
72,000 miles
Isuzu Trooper II 85 3 Full of straw, used
tack, and dog hair. My
sister drives it and she
lives in the country.
None "Replica Porsche" Speedster 3 Pro built. I don't like
real Porsches, much less
kit-built fake ones, but
I lent this friend some
money, and he couldn't
pay it back... This car
lives in the country,
too, but in the opposite
direction from my
sister. I wouldn't be
seen in it in town!
--------------
However, I have owned or kept for extended periods quite a few LBCs,
including ...
Owned:
------
Austin-Healey Sprite '58 2 AN5L/1001 - the
500th LHD Bugeye
built.
Three additional Bugeyes over the years, none of any distinction except that
by the time I sold them they were indecently fast.
Triumph TR-3 (not 3a) '56 2 Very early '3 -
Small mouth w/grille,
huge drum brakes,
O/D.
This one eventually got to be pretty quick, too, with a 2.2 litre motor, cam,
etc. Also had genuine Goodyear Blue Streak "Sports Car Special" racing tires
on it. Absolutely the worst tires I've ever used on the street, but great on
the track!
Elva Courier dunno 4 Didn't have this one
('61?) long; bought a barn
rat, made it run,
sold it to a
racer. MGB power,
fibreglas body,
made a nice race car.
Austin Healey 3000 63 2 Nice, but my guitar
wouldn't fit in the
trunk.
Kept:
-----
Morgan 4+4 SS dunno 1 Didn't own this one,
('62 but drove it all
I think) summer while the
owner trekked around
England looking for
more cars. TR-4
power, 4-seater,
Aluminium body. I've
never heard of this
model before or
since, so for all I
know it was a one-off.
Jaguar XK-E 67 1 Same owner as Morgan.
Very late Series
1/early Series 1.5
Coupe. I remember it
as having the all-
synchro box but 3.8
engine, and in any
case it had the
Series 1.5 dash. No
A/C, so miserable in
summer. That's why he
let me drive it.
And work on it.
I've also had some interesting non-LBC cars: a _real_ Porsche Speedster, a '64
Ford Mustang, a Simca 1000 Bertone, a BMW Bavaria, a BMW 2002 Tii, a BMW 320i,
a Pontiac GTO, a Volkswagen Rabbit, a SAAB Monte Carlo, etc.
The only truly boring cars I've ever had were a '73 Ford Thunderbird and a
succession of Dodge Vans ('67, '75, '77). To make up for them, I've built
race cars and crewed for them since I was in highschool; the cars included
several Austin-Healey (Bugeye) Sprites, an A-H 100-4, a Fiat-Abarth 1000D, a
Fiat-Abarth Zagato (the "double bubble" model), a Lotus XI, various Formula
cars, etc.
As for motorcycles, yeah, I've had a few of them, the most interesting being a
_pristine_ 1947 BSA 350 single, virtually a civilian version of the cycles BSA
built for the British War Department during WWII. Original paint, speedo in
the tank, etc. Lovely, reliable, etc. Yet another in a long line of things I
wish I'd never sold ... I also had a 1948 Triumph 500 "Sprung Hub" twin, a
Zundapp, an NSU, a couple of BMWs, a whole bunch of Hondas, etc. Almost
bought a Velocette, once. If you don't know them, they are the absolute,
distilled essence of English single-cylinder motorcycles.
Just to keep my Whitworth tools from rusting, I'm currently assisting in the
restoration of a Vincent for a friend; it will be a "1" when it's done, but
it was pretty good looking to start with. Too bad the inside of the engine
wasn't as nice as the outside. Vincents are unique in the history of
motorcycling, and their one-litre V-twin engines are unlike any other; for one
thing, the rocker arms actuate the valves via collets _below_ the valve
springs ... The Black Lightning has a huge, clockwork-driven 150 MPH speedo,
and means every bit of it. Pretty hot, for 1953.
As for getting another LBC, well, that's in the cards, but I'll have to
expand the house or move first; I really don't have any place to keep another
car here at present. It has to be a roadster, though. I'd love another
Bugeye ...

Triumph Spitfire '79 3
Ford Bronco '87 2 Support/winter vehicle
The Triumph spent the majority of its life in New Mexico. When I bought
it, about all you could say for it was, "well, its not rusted." Since then
I stripped every part off the car and removed the shell from the frame. It was
repainted BRG. Currently the car is reassembled and being driven. I plan
to recondition a GT6 frame and driveline and put the Spitfire bodyshell on it.
Further in the future, I have some friends who are trying to design
a combination tube/monocoque frame which will again use the Spitfire body
shell. The hope is to transplant the aluminum V8 into it. Perhaps this will
be done to another bodyshell.
