As far as open vintage cars are concerned, I think a heater is a waste of time. My experience of them is that they always seem to be colder with the hood up, definitely a case of top down and dressing up like Ernest Shackleton!
The coldest I have ever been in an old car was doing the Measham three years in a row navigating in the back seat of a vintage Austin 12 with the hood up. All the hood did was direct an icy blast up the back of your neck. Mind you, it was cold, there was frost on the bonnet top even with the engine running.
