1. The way it is situated it almost looks like a drip pan for the bell housing.

2. If it’s for engine bay cooling it’s on the wrong side. All the heat is generated on the left side of th engine.

"... sure doesn't look like my BN1's oil pan ..."

No dents ... can't be a Healey pan ;)

1.  Though the angle may be distorting the view that sure doesn't look like my BN1's oil pan and perhaps it is some kind of an "extra-capacity" version or welded-on feature.
2. It must be a fan, though it is not blowing on anything in particular.  I always thought people added inline marine fans on the left side to bring some cool air up to the carbs.

This looks to be a really nice BN1 FS in the Sacramento area. Couple
things I haven't seen before:

1) What is the rectangular block-shaped piece at the joint of oil pan
and the bellhousing? Something particular to BN1s?

2) Is that a fan mounted on the underside near the passenger footwell
(pretty sure this can't be stock)? Is this yet another way to ventilate
the engine compartment?
