'Vintage tyres' are in hampshire (Bealieu) http://www.vintagetyres.com/

not sure if they're open on weekends though.

i'm not condoning running without a spare, but being 'urgent' and 'only need it as a spare' seem to contradict each other!

If its only for an mot, then no spare is required.

I would get 145 radials, the thinner the better. It is a shame that 135/14 tyres are no longer available as my Traveller drove and steered at its best on that size rubber. It is, I think, the closest radial size available to the original crossply fitment.
Cheers John - all comments IMHO
