What do you recommend of the older stuff?
I'm pretty sure Sportsmatch started up in the early 80s, so something by them would still be appropriate. They used to make a 1 piece mount specifically for the Mercury/Airsporter.
For the early Meteors and Airsporters with the wide, twin dovetails, Parker Hale mounts are ideal. They pop up on the Evil Bay from time to time.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
