I had a 1962 Land Rover that would just stop running while I was driving down the road -- the whole ignition circuit would just cut out -- no spark. I discovered that if the vehicle was still moving I could restart it by leaving the clutch in and raising my right foot up and thumping on the dash board.

I spent two days with the service manual going over the Lucus electrics, tracing the electrical harness everywhere, refastening everything down. I never did find out what exactly the problem was but it never came back.
