The Issigonis designed Mini and 1100 had an adjustable air intake, so that it could draw warm air from around the exhaust in cold weather, and unheated air in warmer weather. I doubt if most owners were aware of the feature. The sytem was also used by Fiat in the early fifties (and possibly earlier) on the Toppolino, which had the radiator behind the engine.
