hallo,

Does someone know from which donor car the radiator is for a 1983 280i TVR Tasmin.

ford capri, 3 litre (according to Steve Heath´s TVR Wedge Maintenance-Book).

best is to use an old radiatior (or your own), bring it to a local specialist and re-core it. old radiatiors are always blocked by stains and dirt and the efficiency drops down tremendously.

Mine is a Granada mk2 which was too tall and a previous owner had sawn through the chassis supports and bent them back to fit it in. This is not a good idea but makes a nice tune as the fan hits the radiator. I sorted it and had the height reduced by 3 inches.
Any rad of the right shape would do but take it to a specialist to get the height sorted.
