My 1972 4/4 has this heater, and when it developed a leak a couple of
years back, I mentioned it a friend round the pub who said the
Morris Minor used the same heater, and he just happenned to have half
a dozen a them in a field! It cost me two pints, and it was a little
deeper than the one previously fitted, but is still doing a great job
to this day.
