As Ruairidh says, the steering column can only come out downwards without surgery to the floor of the car and as it's lasted 90 years without someone cutting holes in it I'll try not to be the one to do so whilst it's in my custody. I'll move onto other jobs whilst applying regular penetrating fluids and gentle pressure and see where it gets me. If I spend this weekend on brakes and the many other things that need connection, rectification or persuasion to work I may be in a position to try driving it by next weekend. If the snow has melted..
And I suspect there may be a clutch issue..
The car's last main outing before "retirement" about 20 years ago was a 750MC Lands End to John O Groats run and it's done 3 of them so I know it did work once !
