The cooling system was a radiator, convection cooled by the air flow due to forward speed, certainly no fan, and from memory no water pump, but I could be wrong there, so going up long steep hills usually resulted in the water boiling off.

The borer reference is apt as the floor was wooden, but that could be replaced and it didn't rust :)

The later Jowett Javelin was quite a swept up styling for the year.

Edit: Again from memory, the cylinders had wet liners sealed I think with O rings.

Hooray!

It's been a looong time.
Good to see the incisive mind hasn't gone mushy since last year.

Welcome back.
