I think the Mac 1 is pretty similar to the MK, in which case most people seem to use the VW polo radiator. VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1983-1990/DERBY/SEAT TERRA/KIT CAR RADIATOR NEW-2 YEAR WARRANTY

If you want to retain the same fittings and pipe routes post up a picture and im sure it will be identified/confirmed straight away.
If you dont mind tweaking things then as mentioned the Polo rad is a good fit for most 7s.

Originally had a Micro rad in mine but cooling was not great.

I have since switched to a Polo radiator with a Header Tank and things seem to run a lot cooler.

If its a bec and the rad is curved then it may be the original bike one. Quite a few bec builders do this.
