| Another thing from way back, never use any grease with copper in it for bearings. They get copper plated and fail. |

I am an engineer for Britvic Soft Drinks in London, they own a 1954 Albion FT3 Brewers Dray, in R Whites colours, I have been tasked with getting this vehicle running again. It run a few years back but the person who looked after it sadly passed away, and it is just sitting in a garage on site collecting grime. So I am not sure of the mechanical condition of anything, I presume the brakes will be seized up and I can see there is an oil leak onto the exhaust box.
Where would be the starting point for this work, see if the engine runs or fix all the mechanical problems first?
