Morris Minor Owners Club

I can't seem to find the crank handle to start the engine manually, I have a maunal, however, i'm a 36 yeear old woman!! I know nothing about cars, I drive a huge SUV and have never lifted the hood. Now, for this challenge. The car has no battery, will have to buy one, 12 volt?? where can I get part...

Ok, I have inheridited a 1967 morris minor woody traveler 1000, great condition, well, before it sat in mymom's garage for 17 years. We did remove the battery and drain the oil and gasoline beofre it sat. Now, I'd like to get it running agin. where do I begin?
