Getting outside air down to passenger-foot level helps too. Why couldn't MG
have had front-quarter vents like Jaguar? I've seen more than one touring
T-type that had a length of dryer vent hose (+/- 4" diameter) attached--open
end facing forward--to the side of the windscreen and run down to the
passenger's feet. However, this has clear drawbacks in the rain, and
wouldn't help much when it's 100 degrees outside....
