How good is that???????

Looks like the car was ordered with a fresh air heater ala Cooper from the factory!!! That air vent on the front grill appears to be spot welded before delivery?

I've seen several 850s with the same flow-thru ventilation...are you sure it was an option :?:

I've seen just a few as well. I always assumed that owners had fitted Cooper heaters at some later stage. The optional heater available for an 850 was a recirculating type heater with no fresh air duct.

This is the first time I've seen an 850 which appears to have the fresh air grill fitted by the factory. Thanks to your excellent pics of that area.

I love the things which still get pulled out of sheds sometimes...


So what's the story!
