I think it looks great and I would certainly not rush into doing anything pedantic apart from getting it running and that may entail checking vital areas like the whole fuel system and the fuel itself, lots of talk on the Forum about old fuel and a few months to a year old stuff has never been a problem in my experience but the fuel in your tank could be quite an eclectic mix ! A fuel filter would seem mandatory, good glass free-flowing variety not cheap paper/plastic one. Distributor, points etc would be next target but overall, patience is the main thing and undertake a full check/service of all the running gear including gearbox/differential oil and brakes before contemplating a long run. Any show would welcome such a car in this sort of condition with open arms. Whereabouts are you on the south coast, I and no doubt several others could form a rescue party if you get desperate! Anyway, it would be interesting to meet you and your new acquisition. Welcome to 'Seven(th) Heaven'!
Hi James, Thanks for your input. I am at Seaford. Welcome anytime. There is not a filter under the filler cap. Where would you install a petrol filter? The garage that I got it from were asked to get it going.
