1980 450 SLC Engine Stalling after long run

Hi Folks ,
I recently bought a 450SLC in reasonable condition with a view to restoring.Motor starts fine & goes well.
I took it for a long run a couple of weeks a go & covered about 150kms without incident until I came back to town & stopped at traffic lights. The car started jerking when I took off & started loosing power. I managed to get home with problem slowly getting worse.
I turned the engine off & restarted it a few minutes later & it seemed to be revving cleanly again , but didn't take it out again until a couple of weeks later.
