Some years back my bendix broke so I used the crank handle for a few weeks to start my 37.Our right hand drive cars are a pain to work on the starter as the steering box is in the way.This worked fine untill I stalled at the lights in Milford,into neutral,handbrake on jump out grab the crankhandle of the back and start the old girl.The crowds on the footpath cheered and clapped,they thought I had put on a great show.
