I have asked in the 'classic cars' forum but worth asking in here also. I need a temporary form of heating for the interior of my vintage car for the winter period occasional use. It has been suggested that I could rig up a conventional heater run off the cars water pump, possibly but likely expensive with wires and hoses everywhere.
Also suggested was to run an electric fan heater off a 12v leisure battery run through a inverter into the heater. Has anybody tried this or any comments gratefully received.

Thanks chaps for inputs, TBH I can't imagine the reaction I would get from a Bride, that I am chauffeuring to Church, if I offered her some gloves and socks biglaugh

Looking at the Eberspacher heater, a good used set-up could be my answer.

I'll warm her up, just let me know when I'm needed wink
Dirty dirty boy biggrin


Decided against the seat warming covers as I may need heat to defrost the windows and windscreen. Bought an eberspacher now.

Little update, I went for a eberspacher parking heater. All set up now and makes the car nice and toasty warm. Thanks for all suggestions.
