Irish Mini Owners Club

So I took the old girl out of storage yesterday for the first time in 6 years, now back in 2016 we were about to become parents and flat out trying to buy a gaff and I lobbed it into my nanas barn but never signed it off the road.

The question is, am I going to be stung for all the back tax?

There aren't any extras really, spots and a reversing light, no stereo.

Yea I'll pop up some pics tomorrow, I'll be embarrassed to post pics of the engine bay!!
It's an original UK car, it has square rocker switches and it has smiths temp and oil pressure gauges either side of the speedo

I think I'm going to have to put a weekend aside and throw in a new loom, the wiring looks...

It starts on the solenoid button, then you can get in and drive away, it just won't start on the key??
Now a bit of an update, my brake lights and indicators started to work

Hi folks, just a quick question folks if anyone can help, I have absolutely nothing electrical working on my 1977 998, it starts on the perfectly using the button on the solenoid but I have no lights,hazards,wipers and won't start on the key?? I know I'm in need of a new loom and it's actually on or...
