I should have a spare radiator but I'm traveling at the moment - could check early next week
If you have a spare that you don't mind parting with I would certainly be interested. Thanks. PM me when you get a moment 
This is what I have at the moment. I think this is the original rad, but I cant be 100% sure because all I have right now is a kit of parts!

It actually looks savable with a following wind(optimist mode!)
This is close - up of the manufacturer's stamp on the rad:

Whilst I was trying to track down where the rad came from, I found this on the web

It looks like they stopped making rads just as TVR moved to the Series 2 Vixen.

Serck may not now make rads but they still do a good job of refurbishing old ones. Had my 1600M rad recored etc, about 20 years ago and its still fine.
They also recored my S3 (several times) and Griffith but they only seem to last a few years in both these cars.
Sorry, but the radiators in cars that have fans attached to the cores require an earthing wire to dissipate the static electricity or they will fail quite quickly.They also recored my S3 (several times) and Griffith but they only seem to last a few years in both these cars.

Thanks Adrian, had no idea that was a possible cause of failure, put it down to inadequate mounting and hard suspension.
