Certainly not an Alfa you see everyday! Very happy to have be able to make this Alfa, a complete new build, formed in 1 piece of German nickel silver without any weld joins at all. Finished with a V’d tube core using as much space as possible for cooling!

Another recently completed Mercedes 540k radiator. 100% new and everything is made by us, in house. 540k radiators use a square, wire spaced tube core with a chrome plated shell. The core is made of 8500 individual 6mm square tubes, each individually spaced by 1mm wire, it’s leant back and vee’d, with the double angle on each side the core is a monumental task in itself. The shell is hand shaped before chrome plating and fitting the core. Pressure tested before a final polish and delivered to the customer.

We recently completed a Hispano Suiza H6B radiator. The original radiator was damaged and had extensive corrosion to the nickel silver shell, we built a new shell from scratch using the original castings and fittings, we fitted the shell around a new Moreux pattern film core made by us, in house.

The H6B was a prewar engineering masterpiece designed by Marc Birkigt, we look forward to seeing the finished radiator on the restored car!

Last weekend saw the Alfa Romeo RL TF that we rebuilt the radiator for, race at the Goodwood members meeting. By chance and due to his love of vintage Alfa’s, our friend Adam decided to sketch the car in the paddock. We thought you’d like to see Adam’s sketch and some of his race photos.

We were recently asked by a customer to solve a cooling issue on a Vauxhall Prince Henry. Rather than rebuild the original radiator we were asked if we could make a 100% brand new radiator, leaving the original radiator untouched and preserved.
The new radiator needed to be identical in size and shape to ensure it fitted the car without modification, but was to use a more efficient, period correct film core to allow for longer continental touring by the owner. It required lots of work, including patterns for new cast parts, a one-off film core, many hours, and some extensive metal work to ensure the German Nickel silver shell looked fantastic and fitted perfectly. There’s no plating in the radiator, all the brightwork is polished parent metal.
We were very pleased with the finished radiator, both visually and functionally. Here it is fitted to the car after some extensive test driving.
