What do I need to convert this headset to take an ahead stem?

I have a Record threaded headset and I am struggling with the quill stem.

See pic below:

I found a video of the same bike as mine on the web and it has a modern stem fitted to what I assume is a threaded fork like mine. I like the look of this as the bike has a modern stem but it doesn’t seem to have the headset top nut on show and I think it looks pretty cool - see photo below:

Until now all the conversions I have seen use a quill to ahead converter but look pretty rubbish with the top nut sitting under the stem - see below

So basically how do I convert my stem so it looks right as on the blue bike?
