    Points & condenser for 1980 Series III, Australian military

    My 1980 Rover Series III usually starts and runs very nicely. The engine suddenly stopped running while I was driving.. I have fuel flow, but do not see any spark, so I’m looking at the ignition system. Replacing the ignition coil (Bosch GT40) made no difference. Maybe condenser failure? Can anyone help me find the right points and condenser? Any other tips? See pictures of distributor.

    The vehicle was built in Australia for military use, it’s 6 cylinder, 12V, in very original condition.

    EDIT - here's a picture of the condenser. Can anyone identify this part? Marked only "made in germany".
