It's a petrol 2.25 I don't know if it was started or turned over; I got the impression it was started.. Brakes are definitely binding but that's not a biggie..no fluid in either the brakes or the clutch.

Hi, Firstly let me say hello. I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself to the forum.. I do of course have a question which is; We have purchased a Series III which has been dry stored for over 20 years. What work will need to be done to re-commision it? I am assuming .. 1. Strip and rebuild the engine (how far down do I go?) Apparently it is not seized and was started some weeks ago.. I wouldn't have started it either but hey.. 2. Drain the fuel tank 3. Replace all the hoses (cooling, brakes etc..) 4. Replace the tyres. Anything else? Thank you very much for all and any advice.. I've rebuilt and done a fair amount of work on Triumphs and aircooled VW's so I own my own spanners.. Simon
