Air conditioning in hot climates? Mid Summer can be very hot in most of Australia. Air conditioning was rare here until the mid Seventies. We just wound the windows down and got on with it. As for overheating engines, none of my English cars ever boiled, but in the day, traffic jams were rare, these days I get nervous in my MGB watching the temperature climb if I get stuck in traffic. One of the attractions of English cars up until I think the late Sixties they at least had heaters whereas most of our local cars did not even have a heater option. Even a lot of Australian assembled English cars lacked a heater. How times change.
