Kees, I fully agree. My first car was a 1955 Ford Prefect. The owner's manual
said 'when touring fast (55 miles an hour) periodically stop and check the
coolant level.'

Derek,
Basicly
you are correct, if you drive the way they did in the 50-60's. 
Many classics
have marginal cooling systems that work well in normal 
conditions but change
to modern busy town driving and it is a completely 
different story, even on a
not so hot day. Here you do need extra 
cooling preferably using a properly
installed thermostaticly controlled 
electric fan.
If you are living in a hot
area and bought a car that was first 
delivered in a cooler climate, there is
a chance that you have the wrong 
fan, radiator, thermostat or perhaps
waterpump fitted........
