I believe it was a common feature of British sports cars at the time, useful
for "LeMans style" starts where one had to jump in the car, release the
brake and take off.
I do miss it in my Stag, I have to remind myself to hold onto the handle
until it's fully down. In the TR3 there's never any question.
