The Daimler was parked at National Welsh's Gelligaer St depot for some time in the early 80's. When it had to be moved it had been standing untouched for about two years. The batteries were u/s of course so I tried to jump start it from the battery trolley but they wouldn't turn it over so I attached a running coach as well with jump leads. It then started instantly even after standing all that time.
