For just a standard rad i use gat radiators in the midlands in the uk. May be able to do you one? If not try the likes of pace but that may be very costly?
Have you tried searching e bay?
Best of luck with your search.

good luck with finding an auto rad - they are as rare as you could always get a manual rad, and add an oil cooler

If you cant find one for the granny, maybe do as Autofive has suggested, or get a rad with a built in oil cooler from a Volvo or merc and adapt to fit? Or will you be able to get your rad reconditioned for a reasonable price?

I know that W126 Mercs have a built in oilcooler for the tranny. Like street said you could perhaps make that fit. I made one fit my W115 Merc by using different radiator hoses with the correct bends in, and a steel cross-over pipe from a Metro (the inlet / outlet ports were on the wrong side on the new rad)
Do your local car parts suppliers have a radiator exchange service? In the UK you can order a rebuilt radiator in exchange for your old one. Or if there's not one in stock, they'll rebuild yours for you. Serck Marston are a company that do this in the UK. It isn't cheap, but you'll have a shiny rebuilt radiator at the end of it!

mk3 capri rad is the same as granada, except the header tank pipe outlet is on the other side. I have a granada auto rad in my capri. mine has an external trans cooler plumbed in, but auto rads have a larger header tank. you can get your one rebuilt, unless it has split the trans cooler. hope that helps
