You would be talkking about Vintage Tyre Company at the (
http://www.vintagetyres.com) at the National Motor Museum on the estate
of Lord Beaulieu. Actually, I don't think you will find that they
manufacture the tyres there, but stock an incredible list of cross-ply
and radial tyres for road and racing. Their web site is well worth the
look.
Incidently, their Dunlop 5.20 x 13 as original for the Sprite (but only
in blackwall) run $93. The same tire is available from their U.S.
distributor, Universal Vintage Tire for $143, plus taxes.
