The radiator.
Obviously the Brits had not yet figured out that water, when heated,
expands and when inevitably cooled, un-expands (is that a word?).
Hence the notes in the owners manual to check your fluif levels
frequently. It was the same in 1957 with my TR3, but I chose to
follow scientific principles and install an overflow bottle. I have
not had occasion to check my water fluif level since (other than an
occasional glance at the overflow bottle).
So unless you are a Concours Purists, I can highly recommend this
modern addition. <G>
