Default Which radiator to choose for classic?

Replaced a split bottom hose today noticed my rad is leaking in two places, so looking for a direct replacement.

Car is a 95 import with AC and 2 rad fans.

There are loads to choose from on ebay, so wondered if anyones fitted one and which one you chose.

Just fitted a japspeed one today due to split radiator. Good looking and reasonable price. Refilled using alcazzar method with no problems. Managed to get 6.8 litres in.

Mine (running 400/400 on a 2.5), came from a local guy, £64 to include a guarantee and two decent hose clips.

This, alloy ones can actually cause more issues on low power cars
