Thank you for the information. I tried cleaning the points with a piece of fine abrasive paper but to no avail. I have to suspect the coil for no other reason than it is very old. In fact it may be original to the car being a Remix (short, dumpy style) and has been on the car for the whole of my ownership which is over 40 years.
I will carry out all the tests but I intend to buy a new coil. I have my eye on a new Remax ES1 ignition coil (made in England) from The Green Spark Plug Co.
