Seen as the last tax disc was 1987, I'd renew ALL the perishables in the brake system.
That's both front calipers, the servo cylinder (diaphragm might be okay though), master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders.

We might well have a 66 servo. We have enough to build another 66 from parts am sure. Calling Matt to the spares counter...

It was 8/9 years ago now, but I got a load of brake bits from Brakes International. The master cylinder I got from the DOC. Forget where I got the bits for the servo, but it was somewhere that specialised in them. Rear wheel cylinders look like Girling ones. Would need to look up the manual for the bore size, but they are similar to Mk2 Escort / Volvo 300 from memory. Front callipers are fairly unique for piston size (might be in common with some NSU or something). Can't remember if the pistons are 44 or 48mm diameter, but they are ATE. Easy enough to get hoses. I have the lengths somewhere. Unless someone has been "at it" before you all the unions are M10x1 thread.

Nobody has messed with it, only has 18,000 miles on it and full supplying dealer service history up until it was taken off the road in the 80's.

Nobody has messed with it Good, as it makes life so much easier when it comes to finding the right parts.
