How many LBCs do you own & are they garaged?

The post about the $1,000 GT6 got me curious.

So how many LBC do we own amongst us?

Be honest now - it counts if it still has axles attached to it. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

Sorry,

I only have time for one, any more and She might get jealous!
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

Current ownership is as listed in the sigfile... a few others in my past: 3 MGB's, 1 MGB-GT. All pre-1968.
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

Mine are listed below as well. I do intend to find a TR-6 one of these days as well to try and round things out more...

Re: How many LBC do you own?

Hmmm:

Presently

1.0 '59 AH BE
1.0 '04 MINI (if it counts)

0.5 '71 Midget
0.5 '36 MG MMM
0.3 '67 XKE

I guess that would be 3.3 (or 2.3) here.

Sorry, no rumphs.

Re: How many LBC do you own?

73 TR6
05 Lotus Elise (not sure it counts)
and a car for snow days.
I have to admit I would love a GT6 but there is absolutley no room left in the drive and the neighbors already consider me crazy for having three cars
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

1 GT6
2 Spits
8 Bugeyes
9 Spridgets
I don't <u>think</u> I missed any. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Sometimes I think one to many....
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

I only have the one TR3A...But... I'm really thinking about doing a frame up Beta next year... Boy I like those...
 
Re: How many LBC do you own & are they garaged?

Hey guys - can I expand the topic a bit?

For the LBCs you do own are they garaged or do they live outside?
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

Just one little ol' 71' Tr6
She lives in the garage,
But i'm looking forward to driving her this weekend

Re: How many LBC do you own?

1 LBC, the 57 Triumph TR3, garaged.

1 MBC (medium british car), a 72 Series 3 Landrover (about to go on Ebay) parked in front.
 
Re: How many LBC do you own?

They are a TR3B and an MGTD and are they garaged? They don't leave the garage if its raining or even if the roads are wet. I drive them, that's why I have them. Just not when its wet. Isn't LBC really spelled "RUST" or in the case of the TD you can add "ROT". Maybe I'm the exception in only wanting to take them out in nice weather (it doesn't need to be warm, just not wet and no salt on the road, please). I sure that Don follows the anywhere, anytime rule. Are there any other fair weather drivers?

Let's see...one, two, three, four...five will be here soon.

The blue one is TS66266L, The rusty white one is TS79784L, don't know the # on the TR7, the first red TR2 is TS1203LO and the second is TS5616L (not home as of now).

All three early cars are inside...two in my storage building and TS1203LO in my shop on the lift. The TR7 is cold and lonely outside....with no food or shelter.

Re: How many LBCs do you own & are they garaged?

Lesse..
54 TR2 Garaged
most of a 66 TR4A in pieces all over the place
58 Jag MK VIII outside (untill I can find dry storage.. It's killing me to have it sittin out)

YankeeTR, Is that ANOTHER TR2 in the bottom attachment pic??
I can tell it's an early one by the big speaker hole ( at least that's my best guess as to what it was put there for) in the footwell. Only the real early cars had that.
I have the "How to restore a TR2-3" book, and the author incorrectly suggests that someone had put that in the footwell of one of the cars he uses in one of the pictures, and that it would have to be rapaired.
But I've seen identical "speaker holes" in 3 TR2s in person, and at least 6 now in photohraphs.
Sorry for the sidetrack... now back to the regularly scheduled thread.
 
Re: How many LBCs do you own & are they garaged?

If you own an LBC and it is not garaged, then you won't own it very long.

I have a one car enclosed garage, I own 4 vehicles. the TR6 sleeps in the garage, in her own bedroom. My wife's new Accord sleeps in the weather. She is not real happy. No room on my lot to add on.
 
Re: How many LBCs do you own & are they garaged?

One and that's only because I have but one garage.

Actually, if I had two garages, I'd probably have a 66 Vette convertible. I still haven't gotten over selling mine years ago.
