Sure.  Classic Mini Coopers do that, too.  The air comes in the front of the car into the engine bay and filters out through the radiator into the wheelwell.  Therefore the fan, whether electric or mechanical, removes air from the engine bay.

But we knew we were talking about a Triumph, where the air comes in the front of the car, goes through the radiator into the engine bay and dissipates from there.  

If Triumph had not been so cheap, they could have put the air-exhaust vents on all the cars instead of just a few special rally cars.
