This was my first car though in black upon black. Driving the car I imagined myself, as a 18 year old freshman, in the Monte Carlo Rallye. However Buffalo NY winters were not kind to the car as when the temp dipped below 32 degrees or so, the engine was dead as a doornail. This was my initial experience of numerous future learning opportunities of British cars. Following British car was a 1960 AH Sprite!

Cool first car. As someone who went to college in Rochester, N.Y., I can understand your struggles. Did you get to take your car out much in the snow or was it dead most of the time you had opportunities to do so? If you did drive it in the snow, how was it?
Didn't the last of them come with the 105E ohv engine that powered a hundered sports and race cars?
In reply to MichaelRogers :
Only the 4 door Prefect gained the OHV engine in 1959 the 2 door didn't sadly.
