I like electric fans as long as they are:
1, not overly "on show".
2, not too noisy.

I have 4 early fords and they all have electric fans. My observations are:
1, you hardly ever need to use them (in the Uk climate)
2, you don't even need one when the carb is moving along.
3, it saves the mech fan noise when moving along at higher speeds.
4, it saves engine power.

So with apologies to my learned fellow board contributors, I prefer them.
