Exactly. That’s why Jetsons style glass canopies haven’t caught on. As it turns out glass, or even clear plastic, is terrible at keeping out the cold and the heat.
I saw a 3 wheel Morgan once driving along a twisty southern Indiana country road in the rain. It's owner had fitted it with a DuVall windscreen and the top and side curtains from an Auburn Speedster. Pretty sharp looking decked out like that...

“Douglas Bader-Meinhoff” has gotta be the funniest joke Clarkson has ever made hands down. I’m shocked it didn’t even get a chuckle out of Hammond or May (although I guess May might not have heard it).
Lol to be fair as long as I've seen caterhams they've had windscreens and tents on top when it rains. I notice though on their website that that's not an option on the track versions? seems daft
I love the Morgan but I want a full windscreen, and a reasonable attempt at a top, and a spare tire...all things the most classic Morgans all had previously.
Well, the three wheeler IS the most classic thing Morgan does. That's where the company started from, and those never had any kind of convincing weather proofing device.
Every classic Morgan 3-wheeler I have come across had no worse a bonnet/top than any MG TC/D/F ever had, something is better than the big nothing they come with today. Particularly with their proposed e-trike, talk about a useless toy without a top.
The X-Bow is actually a very common car to see in most parts of the US. From what i've seen, there's quite a few in northern Illinois and parts of Wisconsin. Even saw one while driving through Tennessee.
“I’ve never had to stop and by another outfit on the way, I’ve never been so miserable” “here we are, at work. Frankly I wish it was the gallows” 😂 always makes me laugh!
Watching this put my plans to get a Morgan or Westfield off forever! An old MX5 does the job nicely and has a hood, heater and air on if it’s Japanese.
No one is these much dedicated like these 3 legends. They put their lives to danger for our entertainment. Love you forever old TOP GEAR team ❤️ J❤️J❤️R❤️
5:08 Well apparently they were watching. So now you get both a heater and winscreen(and a..."roof"). Though I can't seem to find the part where they say the car should cost double as much as it does 😄
It's the little things like them having a laugh and trying to do something silly like seeing if James can get the car started that made this show unlike anything else!
Both Hammond and May would likely own such helmets for motor-bicycling, I bet they were told it would be much more fun if they didn't wear them. Indeed it was. For us.
All of you are wrong^^ As you probably noticed in other episodes of the series its not like they woulndt wear helmets but what i noticed in a lot of other shows (even bike shows) the presenters always have open face helmets or non so you can see their faces and know who is who. Also its more personal and bonds the viewer more when youre not covering your face while talking

But that wouldn’t have been as funny.

Only Caterham, but with optional windscreen, roof, doors and heater (all of which you can actually get, not all for the R500 though).
As of now they do for the r500.
Cant really stand the other two cars but the Hamster's car rocks. I LOVE that military style little 3 wheeler.
Are you kidding thats the ugliest worst car there, It cant even go around a corner properly..
those honda kids But it’s also the most fun.
