I had the pleasure of hanging out most of the day at a local car show with the owner of a 1950 Austin A40 Devon (that belongs to a member of our local club).
He took great pleasure all day in demonstrating his use of the starter handle to start the car as well as showing off the trafficators. It brought back good (or bad?) memories for all the old timers, and absolutely astounded some of the younger people who had never seen anything like it before. I for one have never before really seen use of a starting handle, or don't recall seeing the use of trafficators.
We also heard tales all day of early motoring with Austin Devon's, including some incredibly long trips back when the cars were contemporary and the average "highway" in Canada was gravel.
