So what! Don't forget these things were designed to be run
year 'round. I've driven my TR6 in sub-zero (F) weather. No
problem. Back in the 70's, when I was in college, I drove an MG
daily and it would start when american cars wouldn't. These
cars, when kept properly tuned, were/are quite reliable.
Here in St. Louis we we have a drive each February called the
Polar Bear Run. It has been called on acount of salt but not for
low temperature. So I say drive the cars when you can, its the
best thing for them.
