You'll find the information you need in this thread http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=360327&hw=+%2Bbelt+%2Bsize .

There are many suppliers, one which I have used is Clever Trevor http://www.clever-trevor.net/cars/3-griffith.html

I believe the appropriate Rover V8 Serpentine engine is the correct belt, should be available from Land Rover agents.
Alternatively I have just bought one from TVR Supplies in Gloucester for my 500, they advertise on ebay. (look at item number: 300192068397) Ordered it one day delivered the next £10.99 +pp. It seems fine. They appreciate the difference between TVR models and whether the car has ac and or power steering. Your belt should have the length in millimetres marked somewhere along its length, although it may be a bit faint so you can order the correct one.

You should make sure its not an early pre-serpentine engine before purchasing

As Loubaruch says there are differences.Firstly it will depend on whether you fathers car is a serpentine(later) engine or a 'pre-serp' type(change over in 1994 ).If it is a serpentine engine there are two types of belt,one for cars with air conditioning,and one without.It makes no difference on a serpentine engine car whether it has p.a.s. or not as far as the belt differences are concerned.
Kind regards,TVR SUPPLIES
