I have one on my old Triumph at the cowl where the ducting leads to the heater box and forces fresh air through the heater. With the hot water valve pulled off it ventilates the cabin with cool air, something this enclosed car probably benefits from. Especially with the engine right behind the seat. Chassis 004 likely didn't suffer so.
