If roadsters *weren't* meant to be driven in the rain they wouldn't have drain 
holes in the floor.

I remember reading a roadtest of the Morris Minor convertible (when they were 
new, 
I mean) where the tester commented on the sensible choice of painted dash and 
vinyl 
upholstery since 'every convertible will be caught in a rainshower with the 
roof 
down at least once'.  Obviously he hadn't come across many MGB drivers.  The 
same 
tester did another test on a B (again when new) and claimed 'the engine has so 
much 
torque that it should no diminution of speed on an incline with the same 
throttle 
opening as before'.  Before the days of Trades Descriptions, of course.
