I've got a 1952 MGTD. When I put her to bed last fall, the brakes were
fine. Now the peddle goes down to the floor. First step is to add
brake fluid, but I don't know what's in there now. Have seen plenty of
cautions about mixing fluid types. Any way of figuring out what's in
there now?

TIA

It is most likely DOT3 but I would advise flushing the complete brake
system and replacing with fresh fluid.

If you want to determine whether it is glycerine based brake fluid (DOT3 &
DOT 4) take some of the old fluid and see if water mixes with it; Silicone
based fluids (DOT5) do not mix with water.
