Elevator with no car door

A very old lift that seems to have been partially modernised judging by the smooth takeoff and deceleration, and a little hint of an inverter whistle when moving.

This is at an old seaside accommodation with a long history. My friend who lives here says the elevator has never broken down in all the time he's been here. That's probably because it's not a "modern" one.

The last time I was in an elevator with no car door was when I was a very young kid, at the first library in East Kilbride.
