I have a small private stock Dave! And yes I know oils have a shelf life but I figure that doesn't apply to me!
It does appear to be available: https://www.duckhams.com/product/20w-50-engine-oil/

Much appreciated info. The little that I do know is believe it or not Halfords sell the 20/50 and my local car part shop sells the 30. I have been warned about the detergents but also making sure I let the engine warm up using the 30. !!? I do intend to get the car back to it’s almost original state but am torn between wanting to enjoy it, and I truly love driving it, and seeing it in its true glory.
Non-detergent oil is the safe way to go, on the other hand if your engine has been properly rebuilt recently and is CLEAN inside there is nothing to worry about.
Enjoy your car - my vote is drive it!
