The handbrake is in fact a drum brake, so it has shoes, not pads.

Which brings back lots of memories of adjusting the brakes on my '57 Series one.

It may be as simple as some crap in the drum, or the drum may need machining or the shoes reconditioned, or all three of those things!

Either way, sounds like it would be a good idea to pull it off and take a butchers at it.

The cables of the world thank you Keithy.
As for crap in the drum, that came up in a discussion with a mech as well. I'm just glad it's not done it again, cause with the hotty by my side and the two kids in the back, and driving in Melbourne on a busy afternoon, it was just a wee bit stressful.

Cheers
