I'm not sure who carries a TR6 fan; a local friend has a bunch of them  
sitting in his garage, so I was thinking I would get one of those. An electric  
one is still an option, obviously.
 
Incidentally, we have an Australian TR Register member visiting us at the  
moment, he has a TR3A. He says the only cooling system modification fitted 
to  his car is what he calls a CT radiator core, which he describes as a TR4 
core  with no starting handle hole. He says it has three cores instead of 
two and is  easy to fit. His temp gauge never gets above the central position, 
even in  traffic when the ambient temperature is 40 degrees celsius (which, 
to me, is  seriously hot! Never gets above about 30 or 32 here).
 
With so many variations on how TR owners' cars run, in terms of coolant  
temperature, and taking out the fact that some metal rubbish sometimes got 
left  in blocks at the factory, I can't help but think that the differences 
might just  come down to variations in manufacturing tolerances.
 
Anyway, thanks everyone for responses so far. Very, very useful.
