Greetings from Britain!
"R. Heyman" <consult@DGS.dgsys.com> writes about Spitfires:
"1. There is, what seems to be, a unusual amount of heat generated
from the engine compartment, felt by the ocuupants of the cockpit:
both driver and passenger. Is this a Spitfire specialty? If so (or
not).. can someone reccommend a method of reducing this heat flow.
It does make the car a bit unbearable on hot summer days (though I
suspect it will be somewhat welcome in October)."
This is common in British sports cars. They were made for hardy
types who were used to pre-greenhouse conditions in an oceanic
climate. MGB drivers will probably agree with me on this one....
Bye from Stevie!
