Whew! That's a relief. Has everyone seen the latest issue of 'Thoroughbred &
Classic Cars', with the lightweight E-type that had been garaged virtually
all of its life? If a car like that (or like the D-type also garaged until
recently) can exist for decades in hibernation, it wouldn't surprise me at
all if our LBC's were still around out there! JD

It's an April Fool's Joke. Leonia happens to be the place were
British
Leyland USA (read: STAN PART) was headquartered in the 60s and 70s.
600 Willow Tree Road, Leonia NJ; was where the BL Marketing
operations where
placed.
1200 Springfield Road, Union NJ; location of the former Triumph
distributors
(Genser - Forman Inc.) prior to BL's setup.
I can't remember what was housed at the Grand Road facility....
