Gosh! The A50. The cutting edge in new cars in its day! 😀

I only ever managed to aspire to an A35, and since the thread has somehow drifted from hand starting aeroplanes to cars I’d observe that mine had its hand cranking handle which I regularly employed in deepest winter! Even on the A35s tiny engine, I recall, you could get a nasty sprained thumb or wrist if you weren’t careful!

Just for something different, I will photograph and post my selection of aircraft hand cranking handles over next day or so.

I must get out more…..
