Well, it's 1. May. The weather is beautiful and I have free from work. I have not started my 63 SIIA in a long long time. A friend came by with his new Morgan and asked how the Rover is doing. Well, I had to work a bit with the rusted padlock on the bonnet, then primed up the old solex using the manual lever on the original fuel pump. Of course the battery was dead, nearly. One must realize that I had last gotten fuel for this car on 28 July 2007 and had driven it 65 km since then. It's not moved in a year and a half. I pumped the gas pedal a couple times, cranked the hand crank exactly two half-turns and it fired right up and idled perfectly smoothly. Revved fine too.
Sometimes that car really surprises me, but it's a good one.
