Here are the results of the Car Survey. The complete list is below, so
you can perform whatever analysis on it that you want. I will take and
make corrections/additions/deletions.
For myself, I found the following interesting points, concerning mostly the
british cars only. Make of them what you will, but enjoy.
1. Break down by make:
1 AC
1 Aston-Martin
2 Austin
17 AH
1 Caterham
2 Datsun (1600, 2000)
12 Jag
2 Jensen
1 Land Rover
4 Lotus
36 MG
1 Mazda (Miata)
2 Sunbeams
41 TR
Of the AHs and MGs, 13 were Sprites and 7 were Midgets, leaving only 4 Big
Healeys and 29 MGs.
The most popular model was the MGB and its GT derivative at 21. Next
were the 20 Spridgets followed by 10 TR-6s.
The mix of cars is very similar to the original survey (OS). This
is surprising to me. I thought that the list had grown considerably
larger since the OS. My feeling was this growth and a constant turnover
of student members would result in a different mix.
I was also surprised that there were no Jensen-Healeys, Morgans or TVRs
and that there were so few Loti, and Big Healeys (not really, but I was
hoping for more)
Break down by decade:
1 before '50
7 50's
64 60's
40 70's
9 80's
This about what I would have expected.
2. Roger Garnet's list was the most unusual with 13 cars, 8 of which were
british. The next closest person was B. Sohl with 5 Triumphs.
Several people had 4 british cars. However, if you discount all the
wreaks, Roger is more in line with others. :-)
3. At 73 people with 122 cars, the average list member has 1.67 british
cars (That .67 of a car must be in 5/6 condition :-)). The approximate
distribution of cars is shown.

4. The oldest car again goes to Roger Garnet and his '34 MG PA Midget.
5. The newest cars are M. Sands' '85 Super Seven and H. Rainie's '85
XJ-S.
6. Some people had note-worthy assortments:
R. Garnet's MG grave yard
R. Jessup - 3 Sprites and a TR-6.
L. Colen - 3 Sprites and a Cortina
E. Dashman and M.Tobin each have 5 cars of which each has a Big Healey,
a Jag, a Benz and an American make.
AND NOW FOR RAW DATA!
Definitions for Condition codes.

3) Good; not everything works, the paint, body and interior not perfect

of this is *astronomical*]. I hope to have it in 2.5 - 2.0 condition
for Pebble Beach.
