The gearbox had something like 75W-90 oil and the engine had 40 or 50 straight. When it got cold overnight, kick starting was damn near a good way to get a hernia. Even if it had an electric starter, I doubt it would turn over. After owning so many British cars I should have known better. With a motorcycle cover acting like a tent, any heat source was just enough. Wearing a snowmobile suit out of the house, I was warm all the way to work not having to wait for heat to show up halfway there. Now, both my Subarus have remote start so I can open the garage door and start the car with my phone. I’m such a wuss.
