Philip I couldnt agree more. My 411 started with factory fans and in the australian summer the car got so hot you couldnt use it. These fans were replaced with 2 larger fans at the front of the radiator to little or no improvement. These were in turn moved to the back of the radiator which improved things some what.Finally I installed a set of AU Falcon fans fully enclosing the entire back area of the radiator and sealed so that the fans could only draw air through the radiator. The results were spectacular the car now runs so cold I have had to fit a higher temp thermostat. Yes the original Bristol set up may have been fine in the UK but not in hot climates.
NB the rush of air through the radiator into the engine bay is remarkable
