Allen (et. al.):

The following was sent to by a lister a while ago and worked for me:

I've ordered and received three of these for my cars.  Just send a check for
$40.00 for each certificate you wish to:

British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
Archive Dept
Heritage Motor Circle
Banbury Road, Gaydon
Warwickshire, CV35 OBJ

Enclose a letter asking for a "Production Record Certificate" with the brand
and model of car for which you wish a certificate and the VIN number.   I've
done this with personal checks twice, so it's not necessary to get fancy
regarding payment.

As he said, checks in $US work fine.
