Does anyone know where I can buy seed potato in very small quantities, ideally by mail order(I am talking about 2-3 of each variety of potato).
There are loads of varieties I want to grow by have little space in which to grow them.
Try swap shop?

Aren't there any round here then redclanger? :(
Unfortunately not - have though about organising one but time is an issue.
I got 10 Desiree seed potatoes from Poundland today. I think they were Unwins.
Charlton park nursery in Wantage sells loose seed potatoes - not all the varieties they sell ready bagged, but still quite a good selection.
The first week in Feb ALL varieties will be loose - that is all that are left over after the Hampshire Potato Day!!

Homebase are selling 10 tubers of colleen and premiere first earlies for 1.69 :)
My allotment organiser buys numerous varieties by the sack full, then splits them up as demand requires, be it in 25Kg, 3Kg, or just a hand full.
Perhaps you could ring round the local lotties and enquire.
Other than what has already been mentioned here, try the WIKI section of this site.
