As she had stood for 24 years the brake wheel cylinders had seized and the rubber components were past there best.
I managed to track down some new wheel cylinders from a garage in Bedfordshire so had them sent by courier overnight.
By cross referencing part numbers I tracked down new brake hoses locally.
As you know it is not a straight forward job to fit new wheel cylinders like it is on a Morris Minor for example.
It was an opportunity to examine the front bearings at the same time.
With everything reffitted and the system bled of any air the brakes work very well.
The car was driven out of the workshop and now stops on its own.

I also notice you are only in Cambridge! I'm often that way. Would love to come and have a look sometime
