Thank you Kevin, I'll add the coil to the list of potential suspects and plugs too, though I think they were changed prior to the car being delivered, though it's anybody's guess if they'r correctly gapped.
Typically, I took the car out last night and it started on the button and ran like a dream - being new to Bristol ownership, I'm still unused to the reaction it gets when out and about - a guy nearly fell off his bike, craning his neck to see what it was!
My gut feel is that the core issue is fuel supply, though I'll also give some attention to battery, starter motor and heat sink too, just to be sure, a it needs to be utterly on the button in time for the Revival in September, as I have a 350 mile round trip.
Over the summer I may also look get the manifolds off and send them to Zircotech to be treated in a heat resistant coating too, as every little helps.
Here's hoping for a reliable season of motoring - update to follow.
