Winter store

Its my first winter for my speedster & my battry is fitted behined the back seats .So Ive got a trickle charger thats got a funtion on it that reads the battry & looks after it , Ive also made leads that go under the body from the battry with a plug near the back wheels so its easy to plug in without taking the dust cover off .Up to now its worked! its starts on a cold day easy!Has anyone got any tips for winter storage?

You think you in Kanada . eh ??!!

You guys ever ridden around in an open car in England in November? Or how about in ANY British convertible with the wind whistling through those hundreds of leaks in the miniscule tops that leak like sieves.....And through the body, too, and just like a Speedster!

Man, it's COLD there! It's so damp the cold air goes right through you and chills you to the very bone. Last time I was in London it was November, I was wearing a US Navy Pea Coat and at 45 degrees I'd like to freeze my butt off!

The first road rally I ever participated in (circa 1960) involved an eccentric MG TD owner. I was navigator. It was February in upstate New York. The top was down. There was snow on the seats. I had a blast.

I understand that his blind date for the college prom, a few weeks earlier, did not enjoy his sense of humor regarding top down motoring.

My point - it all has to do with your level of enthusiasm!

The only thing I have owned that was as leaky as my Speedster was my 1961 bugeye Sprite. That thing sprouted leaks like flowers coming up in the spring. But with a blue printed, balanced Lotus 7A drive train in it, I could have cared less. I did like the sliding plexiglass side curtain windows though as they gave me some control over fogging and temperature.

Nothing like the best in 1950's - 60's European automotive creature comforts, or not!
