And heaters used to be a big box that hung under the dash where a passenger's feet might otherwise go. ...except in MGAs and TR3s where it was a small box on the tunnel under the dash where it just sat and did nothing unless maybe you were in first or third with your hand low on the stick in which case you might feel a little warmth.

I'm sorry to say I've never owned a sports car. By the time I could afford one I no longer cared. A sports car would necessarily have been a toy since it couldn't have been my only car. Same deal with motorcycles. Too late now.

True but I lived in FL and it wasn't a big deal. My TR3 was labeled Caribbean and didn't come with a heater. Both of those were crankable and had the slots for the crank but neither of mine came with a crank, I don't know if they did new. I think all British cars of that era were crankable. Even my '63 MGB was crankable. I always wanted a crank just to see if I could start it that way. The TR3 had knock offs and came with the hammer. And the MGB had a leak so when it rained you had a steady drip on your gas foot. I don't know if that was called a bug or a feature.
