I mostly ran the car with just the Tonneau cover, with a cloth top stored
just in case of heavy rain.
I'd run the Tonneau cover into late Nov/early Dec with the heater on full
bore, a hat and gloves - a little snobbish back then! . I also had the
factory fibreglass top which I'd use for the deep winter months.
I remember having to change the transmission oil from a petroleum to a
mineral base so it could be shifted when it got really cold. With the
petroleum, when really cold, on start up, I'd have to hold the shift lever
in the chosen slot or it would move by itself to where it previously was
until the trans got warm.

Ken,
That brings back some memories.
I love the tauno cover, no need to put the top up!
I had worse luck in grad school with a Sunbeam Alpine.
Great summer cars, but I bet you froze in the winter.
Regards, Bob S.

These two images are not posted for any of their photographic content but
for the memories.
I came across these two slides taken over 42 years ago - probably on a
Voightlander folder or a Zeiss Ikon Contessa. I was surprised by the
original slide format - 27mm square. Film was Kodak Kodachrome. The years
or
the film have given these image an almost monochrome appearance. Scanned
on
my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED.
The images are of a 59 Austin Healy Sprite (Bugeye) that was my first
real
car. Got me thru college with only regular oil/filter changes, a tune up
or
two and a set of Michelin radial tires.
The most fun for the buck in a car that I've ever had.
