Haven't been for years, but http://www.bruntingthorpe.com/ used to have a long straight and a bend on to it that allowed a good entry speed.

or go to Millbrook on a driver training day with CAT, or even the official Aston course

Search for VMax events on PH. It's at Bruntingthorpe as above.

Did one a few years ago in my Noble 3R which was clocked (radar speed trap) at a reasonable 161mph on the straight but some cars, mainly Ruf Porsches, were approaching 200mph.
