I've had the same problem, my radiator would need to be filled up on a 
regular basis, but it never got hotter than 90c, never, no matter what 
driving condition. I replaced the radiator cap, then the temp dropped to 
80-85c, but coolant/water loss continued. I later noticed a light gray 
covering of junk on the inside of the bonnet and front of the carb 
dashpots, engine. After watching and listening to the engine after a drive 
I heard a slight hissing noise and located a tiny hole in the join of the 
filler pipe attachment to the radiator. This will be fixed soon. I wonder 
would a pressure test reveal a slight leak somewhere?
