dash mounted fan

[NelsAnderson]

My 64 IIa doesn't have a cig lighter nor does it appear one was ever there. Was this an option or maybe a dealer install?

Nels, does yours appear factory or could it have been added later?

It looks like it has always been there. It's mounted next to the choke control:

School bus fans used to be a fairly popular mod for Series Rovers in the US. I've seen more than a few with them added here and there.

Yorker- thanks for that link! I've been trying to find a nicely made, metal fan like the ones on that school bus fan site- I would never have found that!

The wife's V8 109 has a cheap oscillating fan from a generic auto parts store mounted to the middle windscreen frame on an aluminum angle bracket. I used the two lower windscreen trim screws to hold the bracket in place. The fan can be set to one position or will oscillate up and down and sideways. It plugs into a lighter type power port.

During warm weather we use the fan only when driving slow, as without a bonnet mounted spare there is great air flow from the dash vents. In winter it really helps move the warm air around, since the heater and fan are mounted on the tunnel in front of the shifter and it gets quite warm up front.
