This one appears similar to the Arnolt (of Arnolt-MG fame) heater.
On 9/25/54 my dad had one of the Arnolt heaters installed by Trans-Sport
Motors, Richmond, VA, $49.95 including labor.
The Arnolt heater does as well as can be expected with the 75 degree coolant
from the engine, if the air temp is warm enough for the thermostat to reach
75. With top raised and side curtains in place it does warm the cabin and
does a fine job of keeping the ankles toasty.

That looks very similar to the heaters that were available as
accessories 'back in the day'. Most of them including the Smiths
factory heaters in British cars of the later '50s and '60s were not very
effective. I wonder what the output of some of the accessory heaters
for T series cars (both heat output and fan output) were and perhaps
some of the later cars that had factory heaters like MGAs, early MGBs,
Austin-Healeys, etc.
Does anyone have that information? That way we can have something to
compare this heater to.
Thanks.
