My Alvis 12/60 would cut out for no apparent reason and then start normally after 15 mins. Everything was checked an appeared normal. Being in the middle of nowhere I eventually had to call the RAC. He eventually found that the coil had rested for years on a protruding bolt-head which had worn a tiny hole through the bottom. This allowed cooling fluid to escape which caused overheating and failure, but would work again when cooler. Not in a month of Sundays would I have found it!
