One of these might be a workable solution.

 Richard,

 It's supprising how much of the old skills are going away.=C2=A0 The newer=
 radiators are
 partially made of plastic.=C2=A0 So the old shops can't do much with them.=
=C2=A0 Then the
 shops go out of business.=C2=A0 Bummer.

 >Ideas?

 Unforunately, no.=C2=A0 I'm not sure but I think that some other cars of t=
hat era, like the TR-3s, MGAs might have use similar heaters.=C2=A0 I remem=
ber a round heater in
 my old TR-3s.=C2=A0 I went looking through Moss Motors on-line catalog and=
 found a=20
 round heater core for a Healey 100-4.=C2=A0 It was $800.=C2=A0 So your $30=
0 for a Rover
 core isn't bad.=C2=A0 Here's a core for a TR3 at $500:
 https://mossmotors.com/heater-core-1

As a last resort, it seems to me that one of the aftermarket AC companies m=
akes custom items.=C2=A0 I thought the company was in GA or FL.=C2=A0 Doing=
 a google search=20
 I see a couple of companies in TX.=C2=A0 So maybe that's where they are.=
=C2=A0 But it would
 be worth a phone call to see if the can do custom work, if so, send them a=
 picture
 of your heater core and some measurements and see what they give you for a=
 quote.

 Here's a place list Morgan heater core replacements:
