Stuart,
I don't think there is any need to go over the top on preparation for a journey on good roads at convoy speeds. Almost any reasonable club vehicle could do it.
Original pattern tyres are fine provided they have enough legal tread to complete the miles and are not 20 years old. Usual prerun checks are all that should be required (oil changes, grease, check brake linings, fan belt and any major leaks - all 1940's vehicles leak!) and obvious problems like loose steering, bad shock absorbers etc looked at. New plugs points and condensor if they have not been done for many years and that should be it if it is running OK and not making any expensive noises right now.
