They pop up on UK eBay quite often. I've got two or three that I got there.
Seem to recall that a Morgan fellow sells/sold them.

Sounds like a good idea. Given the fact that many people have problems to
cool their engines, the absense of the sleeve might be the reason. I know
that it has been difficult to get hold of a sleeved thermostat for many year
now, but apparantly Moss have started manufactuing them again, but to a
substantial price.
