Check the big fuses in the box atop the battery, also check for earth.

I'd be looking at a fault with the gear lever (if manual) or ign switch. Time to get meter out :)

I suspect dead starter. 

 Fun to change as it involves removing o/s engine mounting.

It doesn't appear to worry the OP overmuch, as it seems he has only checked the codes thus far. :-\ :y

My '51 Reg. 2.6 has just passed its MOT with no advisories and good emission figures for the second year running and in both cases I used "Cataclean" additive a few days before the test and a fill of Shell V-Power Nitro plus an Italian tune-up!
Also, shortly before the test I drove it for at least half an hour in spirited fashion to ensure that the engine was nicely warmed up.

That'll be why, then ;D

It'll never pass an emissions test if it's misfiring.....

Pull out the coil pack and do the usual checks.
