What is this radiator from? This is not a quiz!

Now I've got the radiator off here's a bit more detail. I intend to ring Serck on Monday, but still wonder whether it does match any other vehicle.

The serial no 10 M 65 B probably includes the date as the Shorland was built in Nov 1965.

It is wider than the 2A 6-cyl rad, this one is 57 cm long, 10.5 cm wide & 53 cm high.

Phoned Serck Radiators today. They said they stopped making automobile radiators in 1920s! Gave me a number of another company who have made radiators for them. Phoned them they didn't make them but contacted another company who would know, but this turned out to be Serck Radiators!

Chris thanks. But unfortunately it is for a later Mk 3 with 6-cyl. Mine is a Mk 1 with 4-cyl, which struggles so I suppose it needs a bigger radiator. I have spoken to Philip & he doesn't feel it was used on any other Rovers.

 

I have visited a Southampton radiator company who rebuild the one in my Shorland prototype a few years ago. They said they can solder this one up from the inside when they recore it.

 

I was hoping Serck might have said that it was a common item on some 1960s commercial vehicle or they were having a clearout of their stores & found some of these still in their original packing...dream on!
