I have a 1500 US Spec and had that same occurance a long time ago. I thought I had a vapor lock so I did the old shade tree trick. I walked over to the closest stop-n-rob (mini market which sells petrol for you guys on the other side of the pond) and got my self a bag of ice. I iced down the carbs and the ignition module. i noticed that was a bit hot as well. 15 minutes of that, it was ready to go.
Well, 2 years later after driving her on a 90 mile round trip to wirk, she did it again. This time it was the ignition module.
But since you have a UK Spec 1500 with dual carbs, it is highly likely that one of your carbs are plugged. Have them cleaned and rebuilt. That should cure what ails you.
At least that is my humble opinion.
