Sometimes nickle and dime repair jobs, other times bankruptcy type repair
costs. They removed it, but in the true British traditions, they continued
to place encapsulated nuts along where it was originally located. But alas,
the damage had been done. The car was deemed too expensive to repair and
too unreliable in performance from point A to point B and occasionlly back
to point A.. Production on these wonderful and quirky vehicles ceased in a
year or two. These chips had a half life so they have all disappeared,
with only a very few of the metal ones remaining. These had a secondary
function of driving present owners partially nuts! Some it pushed over the
edge! >>

Well, I have one of these rare metal chip containers. Now that I know the
whole story, the price just went up considerably.
Since, Paul, you are considered an expert on LBC issues and history (as
demonstrated by your well written tome) I will quote you in my eBay (Your
Personal Trading Community) ad.
If the sale price exceeds $1,000,000 I will make certain you get what's
coming to you.
