Hot inside of MM 1000

Post by Sandun »

My country sun 23- 24 C in 12 noon - so the Morris minor 1000 inside is hot when the drive the car ( not heater in my car ) can you tell me any solution for this - I thought to set a small fan - but not a place to it ?

Try the quarterlight windows -- the little triangular ones in the front doors. Open them out as far as they'll go, and you'll actually get some pretty effective cooling. If you have a later car, you can also open up the fresh-air intake for the heater, and you could shut off the water supply to the heater (so it won't put out heat) and use its fan.

Aside from that, there are some small battery-powered fans you can buy that clip on to door frames.

That's it! The Minor comes with built-in air conditioning, you simply turn the quarter windows inside out so they scoop in fresh air. Simples !

30-33 degrees every day here. Keep moving is my advice. Have the drivers window all the way down and the passengers side at 2/3, creates a nice air current in the car.

Some cars might have the odd rust hole to aid cooling too :)
