Hey guys, I have just purchased a 1981 Morris Mini that hasn't been started in 11 years. engine has oil and everything but when i turn the key i can hear it trying to start but the radiator fan and the belt does not move at all and there is no spark. anyone know what i should change to get the car started. Thanks.

I'd turn the engine over by hand first, to ensure it turns nicely.

Then have a fully charged, known good battery hooked up. If you're using one that's been sat for 11 years, it'll be knackered.
