450 SLC from a French Farmhouse!

[Top Banana Raci]

Good morning and hello to one and all.
I have just 'acquired' a 1979 SLC450 (pictures to follow when I can work out how).
Found in a French farmhouse, it hadn't seen the light of day since 2002.
A battery and a bit of encouragement and it fired up on 13 year old fuel!
Still UK registered I'm going to MOT it this week, change oil, filters etc and then go from there.

Aha I think this does it?

Good to see you briefly yesterday ... part-timer!
RM was missed by many, hope he's OK.
