Looks like a mk1/mk2 escort to me, with the filler cap welded up:

The more popular(cheaper) ones to use now are 80/90s 1.0 Polo rads, but these have both feeds on the left, so will need some replumbing if you went
down this route.

thanks for input! 
escort radiator is very expensive 
installing a polo radiator like my megabusa is a good way.. but i need to spoke with my friend.
Polo's radiator is thinner of escort radiator.. it isn't a problem?
@indy bird
thanks for your offer, look like perfect, but i think he prefer new one..

I swapped my old escort rad for a polo one many years ago in my Striker and it's worked better since
It's important though to make sure you duct the air through the rad or it will come in the nose and hit the air resistance from the rad and go
around the outside to the engine bay.
