Tip. With Rootes and BMC cars and vans of the period start the car in neutral without depressing the clutch pedal. If the the clutch pedal is depresed it slows the engine cranking considerably. The clutch release bearing in these cars is a graphite bearing which introduces considerable extra fricton when depressed. Last Rootes/Chrysler UK cars to use carbon clutch bearings were the Arrow range ((Hillman Hunter). Last BMC/BL was the MG MGB

My first ever car I owned. Never pump the gas pedal before starting.
