Check out Greycar and Halcyon Classic Parts. Greycar has gauntlets with cotton or wool lining. They also have some wrist warmers that are very good, prevents cold air running up your sleeve if you are wearing short gloves. Halcyon has gauntlets with cotton lining in several colours. Sizes a bit bigger than Greycar. Quality is good. I usually wear Halcyons, ok most of the time - just occasionally wollen Greycars. What I have come to like a lot is the wrist warmers, extends the use of short driving gloves. Living in a harsh climate I just have to protect myself, neither cold hands nor head are allowed to destroy a trip in the Morgan.

Trick from cycling is a pair of black silk liner gloves. Worn under fingerless leather driving gloves (or cycling mitts) they're a good economical mid-season solution, and surprisingly cosy.

Sheepskin lined leather gloves, that cover the wrists.
They were bought 19 years ago, from the same shop in Street (Somerset), when I bought my sheepskin flying jacket.
Both still going strong, with a well worn look (patina?).

I buy the Thinsulate gloves Braur or Mole Valley Farmers supply them. My good lady wears the smarter coloured one's with black silk one's underneath as she suffers with Reynaud's disease and they do the trick.

Budster ... 'well worn' if you're buying .... 'patina' if you're selling! 🙂

Thank you for so many helpful ideas. I think those may be the best option as they have the touchscreen capability. Unfortunately the "James" model you linked to, is the only one currently out of stock in the UK. Hopefully they will have some in a couple of weeks. Was the James the best option for driving? They seem to have several models and it's hard to tell which is best. I think to grip a wheel (and use other switches etc) we need the right balance - warmth but also thin/responsive.

As I plan to drive my new CX on dry winter days (subject to availability :-) ) with the top down and probably sides off, I will need some gloves. What do others use for winter driving gloves?
Currently (c. 10°C) I'm using thin leather ones, which are adequate in summer but are starting to feel cold both through the holes on the back, and in the gap between jacket and gloves. Most driving gloves seem similar, with the holes on the back. I need something not too thick, adequately grippy (for a non-wooden wheel) and long enough that there isn't a cold spot at the bottom of my jacket.
Even better if they could be conductive so I can use a phone (when pulled up) without removing them. The real answer is a heated steering wheel. Should be possible to fit one. For that matter there are lots of heated motorcycle gloves.
