Do you want heat? Have a look at my website, http://www.southwindheater.com. One of the cars pictured in the gallery section is my 11B, the other a friend of mine’s 11B which has since been sold. They work a treat and are are easier to install than a Clayton heater.

That’ all very well Dave but noise in the cabin is part of owning a classic, or should be as is heat and cold.
Regarding heat in the summer heat shielding is OK if you never drive your cars in the winter but I do (I have 3). So in my opinion open the windscreen and door windows in the summer if necessary and during the winter give the rear passengers a blanket (again these were always found in cars in the 40’s and 50’s). Not every one can find a period heater.

Greetings from Canada! This is Larry from Toronto, maybe some of you know me from when I come over the pond to work at John Gillard’s twice a year. anyway, I have a Belgian 1954 11B that I’ve had since 1983 and a 1954 Light 15 since 2005. Both are restored and in pretty good shape.

The 11B has these nice items: A sliding aluminium sunroof, installed in Groningen, Holland where the car sold new at “Garage Imex” according to the dealer logo on the boot lid. When I got the car it had VDO oil pressure and water temp gauges on the dash to the left of the speedometer and a Smith’s clock to the left of the glove box. There is a roll-up radiator shutter controlled by a chain from the interior. Over the years I’ve installed a short block from a 1959 ID-19, an oil filter, an upper cylinder lubricator, a South Wind heater, reversing light, fog light and a spot light similar to a police car.

The Light 15 came from Botswana in 1976 when it was stuck in a barn in Quebec. I pulled it from the barn in 2005 and have restored it. This one has a short block from a 63 ID-19 and also has an oil filter. There is an outside sun visor that came from Durban, South Africa on it. The body is redone, the bumpers and over-riders rechromed and it has new leather seats. I rewired it to my own ideas featuring relays and fuses for everything. So far, no electrical problems of any kind.

There’s pictures of these on the TOC member’s cars section if you care to look. I also look at the Lincoln Forum website as I have a 62 Lincoln, this format is identical to that one. Cheers!
