Research suggests no ballast resistor required - I reckon the 52 year old coil just shat itself after a few hundred miles were asked of it after sitting around for a long time.

More pieces arrived today, another glass expansion jar, indicator/side light unit, boot lamp, and a decent wheel trim to replace the one that looks like it was driven over then "straightened".

New coil should be here tomorrow. 👍

Good good.  Just seemed worth mentioning as it would be easy to miss if it wasn't a car you were familiar with. 

I learned the hard way when the replacement coil was cooked in only a month or so before I realised there was a ballast resistor missing.
