Default First (legal) drive and engine issues

So off I drove on the weekend dodging showers and attracting attention....these cars aren't for the shy, retiring types are they.......dogs bark, girls smile and their boyfriends try and ignore you

Anyway, a small issue that I've been hoping might go away got worse on my first few trips.....upon startup everything hums along, idle's fine, pop into 1st and off we go, then she starts to cough, up to about 1/2 throttle she feels to be running on only a couple of cylinders, hardly pulling me up a decent hill. Then, give the go peddle a good pump, past 1/2 way, then all seems to clear and off she accelerates like a startled rabbit. Once things get all warmed up and after a few of these episodes the engine seems to be Ok. This has happened on each of the short trips in the last few days.

I ditched the new fuel filter and replaced it, (didn't seem to have any gunk in it) it's had a dose of injector cleaner through it (original '93 injectors still fitted) all new MSD coil, dizzy, and leads....any advice on where to look next much appreciated.
