TSF130L had a round Smiths heater in it when I bought it as a 2-year-old 
car, in 1965.  I always thought it was original (??)

The same ones are found in T-series MG's, not as factory installations but 
as common additions.

Also available are the Arnolt heaters, a period accessory originally 
manufactured for S.H.Arnolt Company in Chicago, a large British car importer 
and accessory distributor in the late 1940's through early 1960's.  Moss 
currently sells (or at least recently sold) a reproduction of this heater - 
it's a steel box, roughly a cube.

Both the original Smiths and Arnolt heaters show up on eBay occasionally, 
and I think there's a Moss repro on there right now.
