OK, from everything I've found on the internet, it appears that MG made both
a Tourer (convertible) and a GT (hard top) models.  Is  there/was there such
a thing as a roadster model?  I've heard people call their convertible MGB a
roadster, but technically, it should be called a tourer?

So, what is the correct terminology, and what is the difference between a
roadster and tourer (not necessarily in MG land).

Reason I am asking, I'm doing website stuff for the local MG shop, and I
want to, for my own knowledge, know what the heck to call one of his
projects I am documenting. Car can be found on his projects page, from
http://www.connellmg.com/  It's the black convertible.

Regards,
TJ
