Had brake failure a couple of times, once many years ago with my Singer Gazelle, not long after I'd bought it. Had gone to check the brake fluid but couldn't get the top off the reservoir, so thought I'd look at it the next day, went out a while later and went to stop and pedal went down to the floor and just about stopped on the last inch of pedal travel.
The other failure was on my dad's old Volvo 740, had done about 140 mile trip up the motorway, not been off it long, came up to a roundabout and pedal to the floor *eek*, luckily it was a manual so able to continue the last couple of miles to my destination by gear changing and handbrake only. Fluid level was OK so I can only assume that it was overheated brake fluid. After cooling down and pumping the brakes a number of times, brakes came back.
