I'm not a rich man, but it isn't cost that makes the decision for me. Heck, I drove a Lotus Turbo Esprit every day for 3 years right up until it exploded - the radiator cost more than my race Sprite did. I'll be honest and open myself up for ridicule - I think roll-up windows are the greatest innovation on LBCs since, well, since anything. I admire the simplicity of being able to race an old LBC without having to do anything to the weather system except unfasten it, but in a beater it is akin to using chopsticks instead of a fork. That's why I never stuck with it for long as a daily driver. I'm OK without A/C, radio, heat, etc., but I personally need windows for everyday use. There, I said it.
