Taking some tips from the responses to this post I checked the following. Fuel 
was in my fuel tank, as well as the filters (both glass and non original in 
line fuel filter), I also checked the float bowls (the one at the furthest end 
of the fuel line) it too had fuel in it. I tightened the spark plug connectors, 
they felt loose but the car  still will not turn over. Not that it's related, 
but the horn also died at the same time. Lights, directional etc. all work.
