As a variation on a thread on another forum, what would you consider to be your toughest trip in a Sunbeam.
For me, coming home at Christmas break on year from college. It was about a two hour drive, it had been snowing and was around zero out. It might have been above freezing in the car with the uninsulated convertible top and the heat running full blast. This was in 1980 BTW. I stopped about halfway home at a McDonalds to get a cup of hot chocolate. In getting back into the car with said cup I slipped on ice. The cup was dumped down my front, going from hot to cold quickly in the temps. My left elbow went through the driver's window rendering it into 100s of glass chips and making the issue of heating irrelevent. So wet and now cold from the wind coming in the window I drove the final hour home. And was close to frozen, or at least feeling that way, by the time I arrived. Good thing the car was going into winter storage and not back to school so I had time to find another window.
