First Google response to pop up might be a good place to start.
Perhaps this might get you started.

Unless she hates you (or you hate her) don't even think of buying one from a wrecker. The well maintained ones rot like crazy! The above mentioned link has a 1980 model with a reported 48,000 miles. That would be a very cheap entry point at around $10G plus another 10 for a good deal less
The Auto Collections Rob Williams Las Vegas NV Has a clean looking 1972 model listed on the Dupont registry website. (no price)
Ebay lists 5..........
Rebuilding a British car will crush your will to live. Don't say you weren't warned.
PS are you positive you can't talk her into a Mazda Mx5, or anything else?
You DO, of course plan on removing ANYTHING marked "Lucas" or BUILT like Lucas and putting it in a box.. just for reference so you can check that the replacement is nothing like it?!!!
Right?
If not... you will end up either insane or visiting S&M bars.
Aaah yes. Lucas, the Prince of Darkness.
Ya know why Brits drink warm beer?.................Lucas makes refrigerators.
