For british-car list related terminology in general, consult

This provides an overview of the common acronyms, and particular
vocabulary common to the list.
For the term "LBC", I think I coined this acronym, way back
in the summer of 1989, when I was beginning a search for a
"Little British Car" to buy, particularly a Triumph or MG,
since Jaguars and Healeys were way out of my budget...
The use of the term grew rapidly, and has been expanded
slightly as well. From the above referenced WWW page:
LBC - Little British Car,
Little British Convertible,
Large British Car, etc.
