Minor update. She starts and runs fine. The issue was an incorrect electronic ignition set up. Quite how it ever ran with that in place is a mystery. I've also had the coilovers removed and the blocks on the rear, so it now sits at the right height. I've done 50 odd miles and it drives nicely. There is a bit of rust to deal with (shock) but nothing horrendous.

On Monday I'm taking it to Upton to a classic car resto guy there to look at / quote / book in for the rust / paint to be done. Fingers crossed.

I bet it rides a bit more comfy on the stock setup! Look forward to seeing it once the bodywork has been completed.
