Second that, 'L.S.'; sound advice. I've used cardboard in the past myself but it does go soggy very quickly! Better, I found was a piece of hardboard cut to size. Better still, a custom radiator muff/blind with adjustable flaps, no less!
I remember the likes of Halfords selling these in the '60s and also inherited one on a '57 Wolseley 1500 I once owned. (I've even removed the fan completely on a thermo-syphon Ford in the depths of winter with no ill-effects.) Today, radiators are much smaller and cars so much more finely tuned that one would need to keep a very close eye indeed on the temperature gauge if contemplating such action.
Regards, John.
