I got a water pump delivered for about £30 from Rimmer Bros. Their web site isn't easy to navigate, so give them a call.

Pre serps are different.....

Typically you can get pattern parts from Rover Sd1's and cut down the nose, or try and get suitable parts via TVR Power or the like. Unlike the serps which all use the same pump, the pre-serp pumps were not used on LR's just SD1's, MG's, Triumph, Morgan... and even then variations with the nose which was designed for a viscous coupling (fan).

They normally do a third party one that is cheaper. As I said, give them a ring, it is normally quicker!
