I have shared the pictures elsewhere and you are the first to mention the crank handle! Well done.

I may yet paint it yellow - or black. I am still undecided on that.

Black is the normal color...or just rusty if you haven't refurb it

Yes, all of the early cars I had from age 15 came with a crank handle - I've certainly used enough of them over time.

This one certainly was black originally, it still had some of the paint on it - but I am happy enough to paint it any colour. The functionality will remain.

G'day Peter M.
I believe the drivers seat slider was an option from much earlier than the S3's. My '64 S2a has one. I've pulled it out with the seat box (it's my parts donor car) but haven't played with it to see if it will slide. Need to clean all the crap out of the rails. The actuator release lever pivots up and down though.

As John says, it was an optional extra in the S2a

Cool. Looks like fun. I saw some of the early pics of it that you showed me. Nothing recent though. You'll be wanting the engine stand soon, then?
