I will emphatically second that.  I lost my previous TR3A because the steel
line under the car had rotted through while it was in storage.  Of course my
not fixing the handbrake, nor checking the service brakes before driving
downhill into an underground parking garage played a large part too, but the
rotted line was the proximate cause.
