Not merely to nitpick, but roll-up windows on an open-top 50s sports car?

Actually, the MGB pictured came along in the 60s, and was followed by much-needed replacements for the TR3 shown. Interestingly, both MGs and TRs went through a series of very useful updates in the 60s, eventually resulting in Triumph's best of the breed TR6 with almost as much HP as our cars and IRS. With aftermarket updates, especially rear disc brakes, suspension, wheels and tires, it can still be a fun to drive weekend backroad classic.
