Well, Mark, until Alan's response I had had only one other reply so here are
the possibilities so far:
Longbridge Works Birmingham
Light Weight Block
I was hoping that someone out there might report that they had a similar BMIHT
certificate with the LWB notation, but no one has yet. If the car had such an
unusual feature as an alloy block, one would think that it would deserve more
description on the cert than just LWB, and that the option would be listed in
the optional equipment rather than up by the VIN. I'll check with the owner to
see if he does, in fact, have an alloy block. If not, and unless we get a
definitive answer from someone on the list, the only way I can see to get more
clarification is to contact BMIHT. I'll report any interesting developments to
the list.
Cheers!
