Actually in a demonstration of infinite wisdom the '50s - 70's Morgans were made with wooden floor boards that allowed the water that ran in the top to run out the bottom. With my 4 seater that looked like one of Rommel's command cars or a Russian Jeep there was plenty running in. Then there was the defroster situation. Virtually no air flowed through the small vents by the windshield so in order to keep from fogging up the windshield it was necessary to inhale facing forward and then turn your head towards the center of the car to exhale. At least the movement kept your neck from freezing up. Heat - you must be joking. Then there was carb icing. The heat transfer to the intake manifold from the exhaust manifold on the TR-4 engine was by 2 - 1" square bosses. The net effect was zero.Nate,
I thought Morgan's came with Rover V8's?
