Relics in Witney will sell you camouflage bookshelves.
I'm unimpressed by HiddenDoors.com Their doors are all so standardised that they _stand_out_ as much as they're hidden. You might manage this in a modern US McMansion, where it all looks like that anyway, but in an older property - or anywhere in the UK - you need something that's more subtle and more tailored to the location.
Any decent fitted furniture maker should be able to sort something out for you. There's nothing particularly _special_ about a door, just because it's hidden.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of the skateboard tracks (vice using casters).
My solution isn't much cheaper. I was looking at center-hung pivot hinges (like the swinging doors to restaurant kitchens), which are $100 to $150/set.

of centering the hinge on the "door", I'd move it to the front edge of the cabinet, hiding the hardware behind a 3/4" trim board. With this setup, I could get less than 1/16" gap all around the case. Thanks for the additional info.
FYI, one more link on "invisible hinges"
