I sense that a starting crank handle is about to sprout out of the front of your car.

There was a way to do that on my wife's Triumph TR4, but no way was I going to pursue that.

 

The crank for a Seven would have to be really long...

The TR4 had a tractor engine, so it made sense. :classic_ninja:

I think the tractor had a Triumph engine, but I'd have to look that up.

No,  just a hole in the floor I can push start through

Both the Triumph cars and the Ferguson tractor had versions of the Standard engine.  Standard designed the engine for both uses from the beginning.
