This is a (very) long shot but - take the car for a run. Stop and check the inlet manifold and the area of the intake on the carb next to it. Is it covered in cold, condensed water? If so, it's carb icing.
My Chummy has an SU and suffered that problem - only cured by wrapping copper wire around the exhaust manifold and the inlet manifold.
