Wing top vents
Near side one is perforated, off side is solid plastic. Mine used to have a snow cowl on off side but a recent renovation has seen that removed and the solid original put back. 3.5 V8 under the bonnet so she does get a bit hot.
Is there anything original looking that would vent some air. K&N intake is near offside bulkhead so just trying to get some air flowing in that direction.
Can't put the cowl back as it won't suit the new appearance.

Mines had a blank put on drivers side during renovation but passenger side perforated. Will both be perforated now.

That's not right - the heater intake is always on the passenger side. There's no space for a heater in front of the driver because of the clutch, brake and steering gubbins. Darren

Yes, the heater intake is always on the passenger side, irrespective of which side the steering wheel is. The pedal box, brake servo, etc., mean that there is not enough room for the heater on the driver's side.

On a RHD vehicle the heater intake is on the left.
On a LHD vehicle the heater intake is on the right.

In both cases this is the passenger side.
