funny...waaay funny. The British Automobile Industry invents flow through ventilation.

In my tattered past I have owned several 'pinnacles of British engineering' many with side curtains one with electric rollup windows and a soft top. Flow through was there. MG, Swallow, XK120, TR2/3/3A/B, had magnificent flow through ventilation. Only problem was turning it off. You accomplished that by reducing the wind pressure to zero. Easy to do with the ignition key.

Owned Nortons and BSA Victor too

Finally learnt my lesson taught by that feller in Tacoma.
