MG MGA - Overheated driver

I haven't posted here in ages. I was leaving Cape Cod on Monday in my Coupe. The outside temperature was 95 degrees (F) and the traffic was absolutely horrible. Traffic was stop and go for several hours, raising concern that the engine might overheat. I am proud to say that my Coupe perfomed admirably. Engine temp gauge never exceeded 195 degrees. I'm glad I invested in an original-spec cell-core when I recored my radiator about 9 years ago. Driver's compartment was another story - I was more overheated than the car!

These cars do tend to run hot, both in the engine bay and the cockpit! My MGA is the only car in my fleet that I have trouble with keeping the engine cool.

A/C is the only way to go with a coupe!

I hear you M.D......its been so hot it feels like we live in the tropics. I spent the day putting new shocks in an MGA. I thought I was going to melt away.
