Given the state of the car I think a "sympathetic" restoration is what I'll be aiming for, the body will need some patching up where daylight is showing in a few places and the interior is in a bit of a mess, wiring looks positively dangerous so plenty to do!
there's little or no compression so I wouldn't be surprised if some or all of the valves are stuck open. A full engine strip down will need to be done having stood for that many years.
I'm not kidding myself that it will be a quick, easy or cheap exercise but hopefully it'll be fun!

Good thinking - running a motor that has been stood for many years can cause serious damage .
