Nice anecdote, Stefan😁 but nowadays we face a hotter climate and denser traffic in long immobile queues in the scorching sun, that's where my 409 showed that problem.
The late Martin Barnes once told me that the early V8 Bristol's up to the 411 suffered of serious overheating problems in Central London traffic due to a combination of so much heat generated and preserved in those massive V8 iron blocks and the very narrow engine bay...
Cheers
Stefano
