Well I can probably offer some insight into this, as my series 3 ragtop is my daily driver.
However, I only drive a round trip of 6 km's a day, although i'd happily drive 4 times that far. Further could be painfull.
I've only once driven a series landrover with a series engine, and that was my brothers S3 SWB before he killed it. My S3 has a holden, the engine is ok, but mismatched, i'm looking at ditching it.
The ragtop is actually very warm in winter, and it's about 2 degrees here in the mornings at the moment. My heater has been replaced with something else with a stronger fan, but it works very well, I turn it off after a while. Draughts aren't too bad, but i'm only in 60 zones. However at high speed there aren't many problems. A series 3 is defenitely the way to go if you are going to drive it regularly though.
