Uniprat "green", Morris Magnol, halfords do a traditional green one in a
nice tin can.
don't be tempted to put modern thin oil in it though.

Castrol now sell a line called "Castrol Classic" that has a nice 20W50,
not the cheapest, but then if you care about your engine you don't want
the cheapest.
http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9002190&contentId=7002718#7009318
We use this at work for one of our processes that needs a reasonably
viscous oil of good quality, used to use Castrol Merit, but they dropped
that line

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you wanted!
He who says it cannot be done would be wise not to interrupt her doing
it.

castor-based, certainly.
and woe betide you if you use mineral-based oil in an engine designed for
castor-based. It tends to wear out.

Yep, you can still smell it regularly at vintage sports car events,
Prescott Hillclimb this weekend for example, Shelsley Walsh, Goodwood
Revival and most of the Vintage Sports Car club events.
