Coventry Radiator is a factory alongside the former Standard Triumph works.
It supplied the company (and many others) with radiators and AFAIK probably
still does for the few remaining vehicle mftrs in the UK. Former brand name
was (maybe still is COVRAD). Highly possible your radiator is original
equipment - unless someone has borrowed the name as an aftermarket marketing
ploy to make rebuilds look genuine.
