Triton:
I can appreciate your trip in the near winter weather.
When I came home from my first trip to the southeast asia war games in 1966 my wife and I drove from Virginia to Ohio to Los Angeles in a Mk1 Bug Eyed Sprite in late January. I dont think it made much difference in the inside vs outside temperature even with the soft top and side curtains. The biggest trick was getting into it wearing all of the cold weather clothes we had on.
I don't think we warmed up until we'd been in socal for a week.
I do have to admit though it was a once in a lifetime trip but I doubt I'll do it again in this lifetime either.
