Hi Guy,
I didn't realize it was that many that were exported! I just figured
that since there were still so many shops in England that are making LBC
parts that there were still quite a few over there. I guess the bulk of
those parts are being exported also!

Hi Greg,
over 80% of all Spridgets and MGBs ever made were exported to USA.
Why do you expect to see any in Europe!?
