Well done for choosing a 145, PMC - a very adaptable classic. Was it the yellow one on ebay recently, a car I knew from a former owner?
As 1800 said, fuse corrosion is a well-known fault with 140s and 240s: my most recent 145 sat for years stored (in the dry) so electrics continuity was a major issue (but still far simpler than the complex electronics on all newer cars - even I can fathom out circuitry on the old 'uns). Being a '73 your fuses are probably down the n/s door pillar - make sure a possible windscreen leak hasn't made that area wet. I have a breaker 145 too so if something is found to be naff I may be able to help.
A member on here might well be near you - look up swedishandgerman on here as Adam has/had a donor car for his 142 so could maybe help.
