Sudden total brake loss

[Landcrab]

Hello, I have a very strange behaviour on a 1966 2+2. The owner of the car told me that the car at a few occations he had lost brake preassure and he had to pump the pedal a few times. I was picking up his car and there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I changed the master cylinder the flexible hoses and the fluid.
Went out for a test drive and everything was good. Decided to drive the car back to my friend and the return trip is 20 minutes country roads and finally 10 minutes motorway. I was braking slightly before turning on the motorway, all fine and 10 minutes later when turning off there was zero brakes. There was the emergency brakes that the reaction valve sort out but absolutely nothing else and that is the last 10mm of the pedal movement. Went back to a friends house and had some coffee and 30 minutes later a few pumps on the pedal and the brakes are back!!! I spoke to the owner and he then said that the few times he had this fault was always after motorway driving.

New oil
New hoses
New master cylinder
No fluid loss in any of the 2 containers.
Absolutely no sticky pads or roll resistance at any time.

Could the vaccuum do something like this?
Or what could possibly cause this?

Is there anyone that have had this odd behaviour before?

Greatful for any suggestions

Best Regards Johan

Is something getting hot?

Sounds like brake fade due to brake fluid boiling.
