I'm in the process of fitting a different ECU to the old car and bought a
NOS engine loom to modify. Basically just change the ECU multiplug and add
a couple of sensors. The loom came in a sealed plastic bag with the
original Rover sticker on it. And appeared to be as it left the factory -
still nice and flexible. But on hacking off the Lucas multiplug to replace
with the required D37 connector, I was surprised to find some of the
conductors lightly corroded. Only a few, though - most were bright copper.
I've seen this on old car wiring where it's been exposed to damp etc, but
this appeared to have been well stored, even although more than 20 years
old.

Any tips for removing the corrosion as it has to be soldered rather than
crimped as the original plug was. Short of just scraping it off?
