Yes, Bristol did on the 411, with barely noticeable bodywork changes. That's what those two vents are for on the rear wings. There are lightly spring loaded flaps behind those. That's also why there are two wire mesh grilles in the rear parcel shelf. The holes beneath them are not, as this picture shows, for the seat belt to pass through!

Edit: Photo added to show where the seat belt should go. Also photo of vent on inside of rear wing.
