[Mgs] Hand cranking

[Larry Daniels]

As Stephen pointed out, the capability went well into the 80's, but I need 
to tell you that my 67 Austin A60 Ute starts with 1/2 of a revolution with 
the hand crank without fail.  I'll put that up against any of my other cars.

doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it
shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape."

Land-Rovers had a hand crank for 4 and 6 cylinder engines up to at least mid
'80s.

The question before the board is "What was the last automobile manufactured
with the capability to hand crank the engine?"  Not the necessity, but the
capability.
