i thought the english were used to cleaning up oil from the garage floor?

Too true. Usually its from the "total loss lubrication system" developed by Triumph & MG. Preventing any dirt getting into the mechanicals by washing it out with buckets of oil.

In this case it was from leaky spares... note to self, check parts are drained before storing - doh!

loom, dash and front and rear lights basically finished, as well as making dash fit around cage and installing heater box, not bad for a few hours work.
