I would contact the Crawley club at the web site mentioned.
I did all my work through Derek Atter G3GRO

He was very helpful..... and the price was $15 USD for 100 meters.

I also looked at the Crawley radio club site:
http://www.carc.org.uk/html/body_for_sale.html
and there was some information there, but I am not sure how dated.

Litz Wire:
In addition to the large loading coils ( about 900mm diam x 250mm wide with
729 strand Litz wire) we have a variety of different gauges from quite thin
up to some about 3mm diam double cotton covered with large number of
strands. Probably the most interesting to LF'ers is a quantity of 2mm and
3mm diam Litz wire with a thin outer sheath of polythene or similar (may be
PTFE ?) which will have a much higher insulation rating than the usual
cotton covered variety which will reduce turn-turn voltage breakdown for
loading coil use.
