The vents are for the driver and passenger. So, there's nothing new about "individually selectable climate control" for the driver and passenger  Brilliant!

Nothing wrong with Roof or No Roof is there ? The choice is there "wrap up" or get out   Enjoy the sunshine boys and girls I'm off down to Newquay to see my Son and his Girlfriend.

Ha! That's right: the vent is actually great with nice fresh air coming straight into the foot-well: like a Landrover but in a different place. The heating has one dis-advantage: you have to stop, open the bonnet, turn on the tap to send the water through the cabin heater and then set off again.. So, you have to decide if you need it before you leave! No control of temperature, but you do have control of a fan and 2 manual vents under the dash. The de-mist vent was considered pretty advanced at the time! With the heat from the engine, I find I don't use the heater unless there is a misting issue with the windows.
Interesting about which car to sell: rationally I guess that would make more sense to keep the XK120, but in the scenario of only having one classic, I would still go for the Morgan because:
1. It's less money invested in a car.
2. It's more "fun" to drive.
3. Does 30mpg instead of 18mpg..
4. This forum is way better than any Jag forum!
I filled the tank the other day (as you might know from my post in the Malvern Arms), and as the cost got to around £80 I started looking at the tarmac to see if the fuel was going straight on the floor - reminded me of that old Candid Camera clip with the Mini where the whole car was a fuel tank! Must check on the size of that tank..

I like it - I'm pretty nifty with the Bosch Jig Saw should anyone feel the need when Summer arrives   Nothing wrong with Roof or No Roof is there ?

A classic sportscar is the best investment there is, at this moment 10/15% a year.  The bank gives you only 2%.
