Thought I'd start up my rusty '68 project for the first time this afternoon.
Checked the oil and water and gave it a try. It started!
The car has a lack of brakes at the moment but I went for a drive anyway. There's real amusement value in the agricultural sounding engine, the dog leg first gear and the gear whine. Feels like a 2CV. Might get the brakes working tomorrow and play some more.
Makes a change from the MGB i'd been fiddling with all day - that one still doesn't work.
