Impromptu BL line up
Discussion
Sorry, lack of Austin, Morris, and Jaguar, but we covered the other bases.
EDIT to say that I do know what MG is said to stand for, but still no actual Morris Morrises, if you see what I mean.
EDIT: Collection-wise, Morris (and arguably Austin) gap now plugged by 1981 Sherpa campervan. Jag gap plugged some time ago.

Eh - what happened to your others; the slightly bonkers and rather more interesting collection?

Events, dear boy, events! [/Harold MacMillan]...
As for bonkers, I do not own any modern car. The three BL sheds and the shonky Lotus are my collective dailies. I hope that on any given day at least one will be working, but you never know.

Nice SD1, but I keep dreaming of pulling one apart and building an LS7 engined and caged track day weapon.
Please use a scabby one for that, thanks! Joking apart, I need to upgrade security on the SD1 as there are unscrupulous types who would steal it to fake it up as a touring car veteran and sell it for big wonga. The Rover is a mostly original and well preserved 2600 SE, with the straight six engine and a five speed manual gearbox. Viz:-

I do not want a Vitesse, thanks. I have a classic sports/GT car (Lotus), a classic sports saloon (Dolomite), and a classic off roader/utility dump truck (Landy). The SD1 is the fleet flagship and is a classic cruisy wafto barge. I am approaching gifferhood, so I need a comfy place in which to fall asleep at the wheel.

Not enough corrosion in your life; that line-up looks far too healthy to me, hence the suggestion of a Riley 1.5 (advertising slogan: 'rust never sleeps')
That's a stunning collection of BL's best (worst?) you have there. I'm not sure I would be so brave as to trust any of them for reliable daily transport - chapeau!
