Even though I own a roadster I've got to agree with SiC.

Nope. If you need an open top MGBGT there is the MGB alternative.
But the Roadster doesn't look as pretty imo. Helped that the GT has Pininfarina input.

My biggest regret on the MGB is not getting one with a Webasto. I can't cut a hole in mine as it would seem wrong, given there are plenty of them about with it.
OK, because I'm drinking I'll allow the MGB GT onto the list.

In fact, I'll go as far as to say the MGB GT is the only car that suits a Webasto roof when not combined with a vinyl roof.

Turns out you can get these:

I wonder what a Dolomite would look like with them.

Reminds me, I need to get a repair panel for behind the lights. Last time I looked it was pretty darn crusty.

Agreed that the MGB GT looks better than the roadster (but only with a complete metal roof).

Yerp...There's a half vinyl tailgate on the Maxi, too. I think the red bit on the back of the Dolly is, too.

And we thought septics were tasteless.....
