Haha. Reminds me of setting the heater on my old Imp to the hottest setting and full blast on the hottest day of the year to help stop it overheating. Not very comfortable.
I feel you pain or rather puddle of sweat, my first car was a Dolomite Sprint...
My dolomite was the same, I think they all got very hot, very quickly when you slowed down. Fitting a sunroof allowed some of the heat out !

No, it’s an old ‘unit’ that’s recently started up
It’s on edge of Holyhead - I’ll stop next time I pass and find out more
