    anyway, decided that the resto is nearing completion and therefore wanted to fit a better starting system, hopefull next week i will fit the electronic ignition. Bought a red top 30 Varley battery this week and fitted it last night although it does look a little lost in the 'new' battery tray therefore i may renew the battery tray for a bespoke item, saying that, the wife just said "why not put a spare Varley next to it"

    might take her shopping tomorrow



    picture below is the Varley, also bought a Varley charger to go with it to ensure the battery is kept fully charged when the car is not being used



    ah well, if nothing else it is giving me some enthusiasm to get back in the garage and do some work on her, must make an effort for an M.O.T.

    Graham I would of thought you would be better off getting a spare charger than battery ,as the charger will get more use than the battery in your case.

      the other 'new' battery went flat on me after three years sat in the car and not being used

      • Finally, finally got the thing started last night (thanks to the help of Biker123)

        checked / changed just about everything, but it was all down to over fuelling through the carbs and about 10.30 last night it burst into life.

        Now i can hopefully book it in for an MOT and get some miles put on it
