I often think about using my TR as a daily driver, or getting another "interesting" car. I know that all of our cars have probably been used as a daily driver at some point (and some still are), but I just don't think my 4A is weather-tight enough, nor has the de-misting capability to be a daily driver in the Pacific NW (it has been known to rain from time to time). If I could find a surrey top (or other hard top), that might solve the weather-tightness, but not the de-misting.
So lately I've been thinking about maybe a TR7 or TR8. It would have to be a convertible. For those of you who drive yours in the rain, do they keep the water out? I would store it in a garage at night, so that would help. How is the de-misting system?
Assuming those points pass, what should I look for in the car? I understand that I should go for the last few years. TR8s are a lot harder to find, and more dear. For a fun daily driver, would a 7 be a better choice?
Pretend my budget is $10-15k, including the car and any needed work or recommended mods. What changes, if any, would be recommended?
