Hi Mike
It was re-cored probably around 1990 and cost £110

£350? I was quoted over £3,000 to get the radiator recored for the 16/50, needless to say I didn't accept that quote but it still cost a 4-figure sum. £350 doesn't look so bad to me.

Kerry's Radiators Derby did mine about 10 years ago and one for our P5B in 2012. He is a P4 Rover owner too

Spoke to the following company @ Classic Car Show NEC, they said to give them a call.

Or try Northampton Radiators - 01604 / 581658
I know that it's a lot to spend, but £300/400 sounds about right these days.

Hi All
Re radiator re core for my ten, I have just dropped it off at Coolex in Nottingham, with a quote of 220 + Vat, a considerable saving over the original quote of 350+ vat
Thanks Chris C for pointing me in the right direction, I mentioned you had had spoken to them at the show and they were pleased it drummed up some business
