Oldest 45,  newest 4 (wife's car).
Average age 24.0
LBC average is 34.

     Average age of my collection of LBC parts at the shop?   Let's see, 
7500+ parts, oldest 500 age 60, about 1000 TD parts averaging 50, maybe 
another 1000 MGA/Magnette parts averaging 45, and at least 5000  '63-89 MG 
parts averaging about 30.That's a lot of old stuff - the MG parts alone have 
a combined shelf life approaching 150,000 years in some sort of service to 
LBCdom.... Amazin', but 35 years ago, the early T parts were newer than most 
of the MGB parts are now.   If only I wasn't so intent on keeping them just 
in case I need that one special part for one of my cars....  One can't have 
too many radiator supports or valve springs, or NOS wiper arm blades in the 
red Lucas package,  old spare choke cables that only need a new inner cable, 
now can one, Frank????

Waaayyy too many cars for a 2 driver family.....
96 Linc to 58 MGZB  and 10 in betweens. All on the road except for 1 MGB and 
1 Ford Van which serves as a mobile storage shed......if it moves on its own 
, it counts....
