[TR] Rip Van Winkle

If your friend is a mechanic he should know the basics of waking the car 
back up, sounds like it will need the gas tank cleaned out, as well as the 
carbs, I would pour some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders to lube them 
a little, new battery goes without saying, I certainly wouldn't trust the 
brake or clutch hydraulics after 30 years and he will want new rubber bits 
all around there, and probably new radiator hoses and belts soon if not 
immediately as well.  Electrics will need to be tested, the fuel pump may 
need a good whack or points cleaned to get going, SU pumps don't like to sit 
that long.  Obviously change the oil in the motor, check the oil level in 
the carb dashpots, drain flush and fill radiator, I am sure I am probably 
missing something, but that would be a good start.
