Default Stalling in damp weather

My '87 240 GL Auto saloon has been getting worse in failing to start or stalling in damp weather. Once stopped nothing will start it unless left for some hours. It starts on the button normally and even in very cold dry weather. New HT leads and king coil were installed two years ago, new exhaust and 'pulsair' system four years ago and a new distributor cap and arm eight years ago, the mileage now being 175k. Plugs are changed every two years. Apart from this irritating fault the car runs perfectly and can really keep up with modern machinery on the motorways. Any advice will be most welcome.
