sounds like a typical mini problem ha ha ha... when i left mine for ages the earths got a wee bit corroded and she would not turn over for anything, i cleaned up all the terminals and voila.....check all your earths matey and i would perhaps give her a few turns on the old crank handle if she has been sat so long. but to answer your question without answering it... i dont know if there is a clutch behind the dog i thought the dog is actuated via solonoid, now this being the age it is would perhaps suggest inertia type starter, I will go dig out my Chillwell service manual there is a section on stripping them down.... starter motors that is....

book shows it to be an inertia type so as long as the dog is springing back and forth on test its ok. possibly corroded commutator brushes which can be cleaned with "fine glass paper but not emry cloth" sounds to me like a bad earth at first guess.
the book makes a reference that cold starting or starting after the vehicle has been stood for some time, should only be done after turning over by hand a few times to break the oil film. are you running 12v system or original Barry?
