Default An unusual problem

We have had some trouble getting the Lynx to run reliably. Annoyingly for my brother, it fails to start for him when he wants to show it off to visitors but starts promptly for me (usually). We have been trying to find the problem especially when it broke down twice away from home. In each case it re-started after a delay of 20 minutes or so. It broke down again 20 miles from its home yesterday. An ignition tester showed us that there was little or no spark. We had suspected the ignition side since fitting a petrol pump with a glass bowl top enabled us to be sure that petrol is getting through. So we checked the points (OK), changed the condenser and coil but no better. Eventually we took the distributor cap off and found the rotor arm a little past its best.
Are these readily available in the UK?
