'61 Sunbeam Alpine. Like Norm, I spent more hours underneath it than driving it. There was a great J shaped radiator hose that burst every 6 months. The wonderful Lucas system quit as soon as the least bit of moisture showed up under the hood. So not only did it overheat, but it just plain quit. I remember driving to work one day when it just stopped. I popped the hood (bonnet for you English) and pulled the wire from the distributor cap. I cranked the engine and no spark! Lucas, Prince of Darkness. I wished I'd had Bosch electronics.

Twisted axle shaft did it in and there were no parts available in the States. I believe the car was a 1954 model.
