I fear that they are difficult to find even in half-decent condition and not cheap. A very good one, complete with a sound radiator core, sold at the PWA7C Club's Stonehourst gathering a couple of weeks ago for £680. But, it is possible to get a very battered and cracked one into immaculate condition. e.g. The immaculate one on my 1929 AD was restored by the previous owner. It cost him the princely sum of 10 shillings back in the day - but needed around 30 hours of work making up sections to let in, silver soldering the extensive cracks, panel beating and then plating. He topped it off with a superb replica radiator cap from a lavatory seat. So, 30 hours at £40/hour = £1200 + plating at £400 (?).
