Do you include the B's in British classics? I timed myself...<15
seconds to lower the top of my 76B (for the few times I drive with it
up, that is. I always have thought...why have this car if the top is
up?). That is not a royal p.i.t.a. On the other hand, crawling around
under my 74 on a cold garage floor is. Besides...I don't fit anymore.
