Hi, Dave!
Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you enjoy it. Sounds like it won't take much work to get her back on the road. Limeflower sure is a true 70s colour! I like it!
The battery will have to be quite narrow, because of the engine damper. There are some modern cars, like some Toyotas, which use similiar batteries, approx 13,5 cms wide. I use a Varta Black Dynamic, called B 24. It's 45 Ah and fits well. It's more than enough to start and use in winter (Norway...), even though 60 Ah was used originally. I'm sure someone else will inform about which batteries are available in the UK.
Good luck! Looking forward to seeing some pics:-) Feel free to ask questions, that's what keeps the forum alive:-)
Regards, Tommy!
