Just bought a new coil and its a Lucas sports coil, tested it in the shop and 10.2 k ohms secondary, 3.0 ohms primary and its sorted out my issue.

See my article in the FAQs Electrical Section about Lucas Sports Coils, basically Lucas are no more and haven't been for lots of years, its just components made in the far east and those coils are a source of trouble  and Mini Spares stopped selling then a while back.

Unfortunately like a lot of things, either people buy the manufacturing rights to badge something it. Or falsely it.
