One may buy coils,Villiers and Wipac from villiersparts.co.uk These are new coils. They also offer an ignition (stator) plate exchange for about £75. You will get new plate,coil,points and condenser. They also do re-con or exchange Villers carbs.
Hope this helps.

Since it is villiers buy a new coil, original or replacement. Buying a used villiers coil means that you buy 60 years old stuff ready to fail. Unless you swap it with a wipac ignition.

I inquired some time back about a coil that I needed for another motor, £65 new, so I asked again about it being new, yes new old stock, so it was probably as old as the original and not something I would like to take a chance on, especially at that price, so I got a working used one for £15, and its still working.
Never liked the idea of Wipac coils on older motors, it stands out a mile that its not original with the screw plate rather than the wire bar holding the HT lead.
