About when did Australian market cars stop coming equipped with a hole for crank starting, and the handle to accomplish it?
One of the last I can remember was the Renault 12, which ran until the mid-seventies. Looking at pictures of EK Holdens, I can’t discern a hole in the front - but maybe it’s below the bumper, and I don’t believe even the first XK Falcons had a crank hole. |

For some what some reference I think a E-Series starter MAY bolt to a cross flow but a crossflow starter is NOT interchangeable with the pre-crossflow ( I may be wrong and thinking pre-crossflow to before ( I'm not sure what that motor is called/goes by( Canadian motor I think and had both a electric starter and a hand crank

60 series Landcruiser had hand crank provision, though I believe "most" OZ market ones had the larger radiator which obscured the crank nose, they ran to 1990. 40 series Landcruiser also had hand cranks (1984) aswell as a bunch of older cruisers (55 series).

surely with the compression of today's engines it would be impossible to hand crank a motor. think of trying to crank start a 12cyl Lambogini

Good points Hulsty, do you also know if Land Rover carried the crank starting option into Series 3?
Generally, too - didn’t the early Beetles have a crank hole? |

2H 60 Series definitely had it.
Surprised to see M&D's Renault 12 had it, but the car was designed for North Africa. Beautiful car, so comfortable front seats, you could rally it on dirt tracks happily, and a really weird (and sensible: north/south fwd means no torque steer) FWD setup. Ours was Virage wagon.
