I'm a big fan of scientific principles and the convenience of an overflow 
bottle, but I am concours minded until Sunday at least. My local club's 
concours is on Sunday. It will be my car's first since its full restoration. 
After that I will seriously consider an overflow bottle, alternator/negative 
earth conversion and maybe even a radio.
