Serious leak somewhere, check underneath for fluids, blown wheel cylinder, check for wet/coated backplate and wheel, or master cylinder seals

Pedal rotted and bent in half, had the same on a 58 s1 years ago.

Ok guys
the pedal is very sound, with no obvious leaks and I can't see any springs, or anywhere where a spring may be fitted.
It is a 1958 so a later one.

Similar to early ones but parts and manuals here might be worth a look

Return Spring should be on the same bracket as the brake light switch spring.

some times the piston rod & piston seize a bit,check the dust cover is in place
