Yes Stephen, as is always the case with intermittent drivability issues, it never does when you need it to 😳.Of course it's that old "Prince of Darkness" thing again ... for goodness sake the roror was probably only 50 or 60 years old ... just plain junk🤣🤣🤣

Hi Michael,I jdrove my Healey across the country (Canada) back in 1979. I had an intermittent mis-fire all through Ontario., then it cleared up. When the car quit completely in Alberta, it turned out to be the rotor, but like your experience, it took a while to diagnose. This would have been an original Lucas rotor….so I guess they sometimes fail intermittently, like a coil, making the process of elimination quite difficult.

For all of those who, I'm sure, have been having endless sleepless nights trying to decide what could be causing my mysterious misfire problem I have the solution.It was the distributor rotor!!After making various other tests, I found time today to install a "mule" set of cap, leads and rotor and the problem was immediately resolved ... even to the extent that the idle speed, which I had found necessary to increase, needed to be readjusted back to its original settings.
I then reinstalled the original 65 year cap, leaving the replacement rotor and all was well.
My past experience with rotor failures, mostly from the poorly made cheapo repos, was immediate and total ignition failure. The failure of his rotor, a very old Lucas original, manifested itself very differently with the problem starting out as a very intermittent misfire which, over a period of several hours, became increasingly worse.
Why the misfire vanished completely at least three times after refueling remains a complete mystery to me.Thank you to everyone who made numerous very helpful suggestions.
All part of the "rich tapestry of life" I presume.

Michael--
Most of them weren't "open" ditches--they were filled with rocks. I fondly recall the time we missed a left-hander, went off the road, somehow hurtled OVER the ditch and landed in a tree in a fellow's front yard. As I remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared the branches out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took off without much conversation.

To be honest, I have no respect for such a person, or better 82 years old fart who brought others in danger with his driving. Thankfully no other person was invoved and injured.
Its very common all over in central Europe to have these ditches, trees or even walls along country roads. That is how we love it.
For big money you can book in to take part in one of these leasure raĺlys, where you get all accomodation organised, only you have to come from a to b along. these rallys are mainly booked from those mainly elderly people who do not know what to do otherwise with their money, even they are completely overextended by driving an old classic car.
One should be wise enough to give up driving, when you are no more capable to drive.

Were the particular BN1 color combo's numbers every recorded or known? I've read that black BN1's with the Off White seat/ interior panels combo were only made for 6 months. Using VERY BROAD numbers: 10,010 BN1's produced over a 27 month period, with 7 main colors, leaves about 26 Black BN1's produced in a 6 month period. With the various interior colors produced, that could make the Black BN1 with Off White trim a fairly rare color combo? Just curious, and yes I own one 😀 Also it is just a very broad shot in the dark on numbers, and I could be way off. Shawn
