It will be a MK2 escort rad probably from a 1300,although most of the locost racing use the VW polo rad like this one.

do a search on here for polo rad and the part number will pop up i'm sure,they are about £40/45 new from serck intertruck or german/swedish and
french stockist

Would be better to try your local radiator specialist , he may even be able to repair/recore your own unit and be cheaper than a motor factor

The radiator repair specialist near me couldn't get a new core for a mk2 escort, so I suspect new cores are like hens teeth. He also quoted
between £30 and £40 to repair a radiator.
German Swedish & French charge £42.95 for a new polo rad of the correct type.
