This is Jaguar in the late 60s (when it was developed). They probably did something to shave weight or just didn't give a fuck. I suspect it'd be frigid in the winter - even with the top up. The engine temp was just fine. So, it should have put out adequate heat.
They may have expected the drivers of those vehicles to use a different model on the cold days
Well, it does in fact have a heater - or at least controls for a heater. It does move air, but it's not very warm. Given the condition of the car, I'd guess that it was never warm. It could be a heater core issue, blocked coolant somewhere, or even air in the lines. But, the engine temp stays solid, so it's probably just shitty.
Either way, you have a fair point. 'Snot like I'll be driving it in the winter. I have cars with actual good heaters that work nicely.
Especially for the convertibles. I used to have a '68 Pontiac Tempest convertible and that thing did not put out much heat in the passenger compartment either
