I had an MGB-GT in college and it had an air intake directly in front of the windshield just like the GT-40, but the opening was simply an oval intake and not a NACA duct. This incoming air fed into the cockpit and into the footwells. It solved the water issue by having the air duct shaped sort of like a sink-trap. At the bottom of the 'trap' it had a 'drain' with a simple flap of rubber. When enough water accumulated it opened the flap and the water would drain out. Very simple and effective.
