Hi Steven, 
   Yes, Standard Triumph did... on two out of three factory cars in their 
first LeMans 24 Hour effort. Pieces went through the radiators and knocked both 
cars out of the running. They wisely pitted and removed the fan from the third 
car, since it's totally unnecessary at 100+ mph. Unfortunately, some other 
mechanical gremlin knocked that car out, too.
   Cheers!

Anyone else have a chunk of their early TR4 flat 4-blade fan break off?
