It certainly gives a perspective on the value of certain Longbridge products. One might wonder how many A50 survivors there are compared with Sevens. Time to descend to the workshop to work on one, rather than sit at the kitchen table reading about them.

I did read 6 A40/50s taxed. A black A40 with a 1500 engine for sale on ebay at the moment.
I did own a A50 in the 1960s.

Probably more comparable would be the number of surviving A30s and A35s.
