I'd say they are honorary LBCs. They don't leak much and I don't know what
their frequency of repair is, but I remember when they first came out back
around 1980 that the first two prototypes toured England for publicity.
Every local newscaster on TV got to drive one around and gush about it for
the cameras, primarily about how neat the gull-wing doors were...

I believe the engine was a Renault, however. Hmmm...
