Good Point - as my tyres are kinda untreaded riding on slippy stuff can be 'interesting' - and i discounted falling off as a viable hobby some time ago
The car was a red Morgan. Good looking vehicle but they must have been freezing in it, and wet.We, well I, had a touch of madness, when I reached 50, and went out and bought a Maxda MX5. In those days, registration letters changed on 1st August, and, we duly took delivery on that day. But, the. whole area was shrouded in thick fog. We still went out, with roof down.
Over the next four years, we did some major journeys in the MX5 (France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Czech Republic). But we did come to learn that having the hood down could pose problems other than being cold or wet. On one occasion, in Italy, we encountered crawling slow moving traffic, in an area of open countryside, sitting baking in the sun is every bit as uncomfortable as sitting freezing on at the Tyne Tunnel
Used to fancy one of them. Closest I got was way back around 1980 when I had an MG Midget. Loved it.

Is that the ones that have a wooden chassis?
I have no idea but wide tyres, wide base and plenty of chrome, not really suited for winter driving I would have thought.
and the wind would practically blow the hair off your head (if you have any). A complete waste of time and money.The Morgan factory tour is well worth doing, if you're ever in Malvern.
