Your stock radiator in good condition should be able to handle anything even a mildly warm rooted motor can throw at it. You can have a more modern core put in if the car sees lots of heavy traffic use.
Most cooling issues with the cars are due to blocked radiators, faulty/incorrect rad caps, blockages in the cooling passages in the block ( rear especially) corrosion in the head.
Adding a return system and a small thermo pusher fan with a good condition system would be fine in heavy traffic on a hot day even with a modified rooted engine.
As for direct replacements none ... And you would be better served asking for a Brit replacement on a Brit site due to their wider availability there... ( not that there will likely be a bolt in)

I don't know of one. If there is one, might it not fit better in "modified" rather than "factory original"?
Sorry, I had to. I think it might be better if you get an answer and someone later searches for it. They may not search the "factory original" forum for a modified part.
To answer your question, why not see what a local rad shop can do?
