could be thermostat or maybe an air lock somewhere - would be worth checking coolant levels i reckon. You could test the thermostat by removing it and putting it in cold water to make sure it closes fully, then putting it in hot water to see if it opens okay. I had a similar problem in my classic which turned out to be low coolant due to leaky rad.

hope that helps
