Has the Bluebird got a tandem mastercylinder. If so It pays to bleed the back brakes first. LR first followed by RR. The LF & last RF.
I had struck a similar problem on my 1600. Don't know why this should make a difference but I think sometimes the master cylinder doesn't prime properly if you don't bleed rear brakes before front.
