Wow! Gobsmacked by all the interest/chatter.
She's a tough old beast. Had the chassis welded a couple of weeks ago. All the lights/indicators work. Exhaust is fine. Brakes work. Engine was ok idling but big bang-bang on the way to the MOT station, hence the conking out.
I checked earlier and the crank still turns the dizzy so I don't think its anything nasty like a broke crank. Engine turns over easy on the starter but won't fire.
Fan and water pump pulley are visibly wobbly though, which they weren't before, so I'm wondering it the pump seized or something. Plenty of water still in the rad though.
Bodywork is typically battered but then this is a Series and has been driven like one.
Not looking for a lot of money - talking beer money here - and would be happier knowing someones going to get the old girl going again rather than seeing it carted off to the scrappy.
