TSF130L had a round Smiths heater in it when I bought it as a 2-year-old
car, in 1965. I always thought it was original (??)
The same ones are found in T-series MG's, not as factory installations but
as common additions.
Also available are the Arnolt heaters, a period accessory originally
manufactured for S.H.Arnolt Company in Chicago, a large British car importer
and accessory distributor in the late 1940's through early 1960's. Moss
currently sells (or at least recently sold) a reproduction of this heater -
it's a steel box, roughly a cube.
Both the original Smiths and Arnolt heaters show up on eBay occasionally,
and I think there's a Moss repro on there right now.
