I know England is supposedly a temperate country, but we've had a few off days this last winter where it got a mite on the chilly side. I drove the back roads from Birmingham to Bristol (about an hour and a half) with the roof DOWN in minus two degrees celsius - glorious sunny winters morning, snow everywhere, fantastic. So long as I kept the side windows up, the heater was more than adequate, and the heated seats nicely charred my buttocks. As for having the roof up, that heater gets far too damn hot at times, so I wouldn't go worrying about getting cold! H.
