Ha ha - yep almost forgot about that!  Yes - my Riley has C-N-H. The stag has a 
blue and red sector.
However - just to re-emphasise - I've seen British cars from the 50's that had 
temps in Celsius (or Centigrade).  The speedos had mph only (much like todays 
speedos - gone full circle if you pardon the pun!).
I didn't realise we used C way back then.  It made me realise two things:
1) The UK has always been comfortable mixing C with imperial2) Despite 'F' 
starting to be written off back in the 50's and possibly before - it seems 
quite hardy when you think that it is still quoted in 2010 (albeit occasionally 
secondary)

Here as well.  The other mark is "H".  :)

By the way - even cars from the fifties have 'C' on the car temp gauge.
