Barry,
As you said, the MG BGT is closed. However, for either B or BGT, the
battery compartment is in the open air - there is a reasonably secure
(although not totally air-tight) panel over the battery, but you can see the
road beneath the battery - there is nothing beneath it beyond the minimum
required to stop the battery falling down. Therefore gases will always vent
to the open air in preference to the cabin.
I have a feeling Land Rovers for many years had the battery under the front
passenger seat. Reasonably sure that the battery compartment was not open
to the atmosphere below to the extent that the MG BGT is, and the seat may
not even have been held down by more than gravity? Not enough of an expert
on Landies to know what, if any, venting arrangements were in place.
