Where's the best place to get a new radiator for my Bambi?

On Ebay they are currently £119 odd plus postage.

Surely there's bound to be one out there for under a tonne??

Must enquire about getting mine recored.

Nowthen..my radiator hasnt compleatly gone yet...but when it does..im thinking its a very simple radiator..one pipe in..one out   simple fixings at sides...im more than sure something out there could be easily adapted to fit...just a matter of a walk around scrapyards ...

Better to get recored. With a used rad you have no knowledge of its condition.
I have been caught out myself with used rads that looked good.
