Heartily second this.  When I restored my rusted '59 TR3A, it had sat for 27 years.  I had the starter rebuilt, reinstalled it, and it didn't work.  Turns out, someone had bought a new starter...a bullet-nose...and it was the wrong one for the flywheel.  That actually might have been why somebody parked it in the first place back in 1973, being unable to figure out why it wouldn't start....
