Almost correct. You remember the song from Oklahoma about the "Surrey with the
Fringe on Top". It had "Isinglass Curtains you could roll right down". Well,
want to guess what the MG and Jag side curtains were made of?
You could always tell a dedicated Sports Car driver by his wet left sleeve, when
it's raining.
The "Modern Cars", like the Healy, had sliding perspex. Soft life.
Driving one of those cars with the top and curtains up has been described as
"being in an endless canvas tunnel that leaks." Very close description.
