Nice to see it out again!!

That's the plan
 
Dilemma is to wash it or not !!  N

I really want too but I want to give the MOT man a good impression too

She is running !! Sweet as a nut now

Fighting me all the way, no spark (doggy bullet connector, dirty points), Leaking float chamber (cleaned valve)
Oil pressure gauge pipe rusted through original metal part.
Not Charging - Dynamo checked - think it's the regulator points stuck?
Solenoid fubbared
Worst issue. Clutch pumps up and doesn't release !! My favorite job!!! - new master cylinder seals and new hose.

All parts ordered from Mini Sport hopefully to be delivered before the weekend to give me a fighting chance of making Stamford Hall.

Moral of the story - Don't leave your mini parked up in the garage for 6 years unloved all sort of things just happen!!
