[Mg-t] Heat Deflector

[Carr&Edwards]

Getting outside air down to passenger-foot level helps too.  Why couldn't MG 
have had front-quarter vents like Jaguar?  I've seen more than one touring 
T-type that had a length of dryer vent hose (+/- 4" diameter) attached--open 
end facing forward--to the side of the windscreen and run down to the 
passenger's feet.  However, this has clear drawbacks in the rain, and 
wouldn't help much when it's 100 degrees outside....
