Can anyone recommend a rolling road company that's experienced with historics and methanol?

We're having a problem with our Cooper JAP (500cc F3), oiling the plug and losing all power. My suspicion is that the problem is a combination of oiling (always an issue with the JAP motor) and possibly the carb running very rich. Due to:
- the vagaries of the Cooper design
- the fact that none of us trust ourselves with carb tuning (make that "I expect big brother would lean it out too much and burn the piston"!)
- more tracktime is pointless: the car will stop out on track, and to be honest we guessing about the cause, so an expert would be money well spent.
So a rolling road would allow us to replicate the problem as it happens on-track, and tweak it there and then. We are certain that the problem is somewhere in the setup, so we don't want to ship the engine to a tuner (better to check the complete installation as well - it would be a real bummer if spent all that money and then found it was a dodgy fuel pipe or something)

Some requirements:
Where: Watford way (of course we'll travel, so Reading, Oxford, Northampton is fine)
When: mid-August. Saturday availability would be extremely useful
Capacity: only 50hp, so not an issue

And of course, they must be skilled with 50's kit and methanol. We would also want to be on hand, to advise, assist and learn.

Thanks in advance
