Yes a great design feature, such a shame that when Triumph upgraded the radiator system it didn’t have a hole for the handle to go through.
So it’s about as much use as a chocolate tea pot I’m afraid.

Love your MGB and rather like the idea of modern engine and box in our TR4, but the tractor engine does have a certain charm as does the clunky 4 speed box with overdrive on 3 gears. In fact our initial search for a Morgan was for a TR4 engined MOG, but we went modern and throughly love it.
Off to Beaulieu this weekend.
Good luck to Grumpy2 for your search.
