What sort?
Most audio cables are sheilded (stuff used for phono wires is good). You can get that from Maplins for next to nothing.

You could also try RS at rswww.com. If you sign up online you don't have to be a business to purchase from them.

If your after sheilded cable to send data down , you hasd best get the right stuff. The environment under the bonnet of most cars is extreemly harsh (
electronically speaking ) and any stray RF from the ignition system will completly distroy any data streams.
RS do shielded cable for rs232/485 but it is very expensive and i dont think its got the thermal capability either.
Try to find out what the data rate is , if it is data, and post back because if you only want a couple of meters i might have some gash at work you
can have

You want shielded twisted pair 
It's an AUDIO cable used for PA systems - I'm hoping it'll be good enough for my Speedo measurement

If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!

I used just normal unshielded and it works fine so don't worry too much.
