This brings up an interesting question. I have two crank handles. One is
longer with a fixed handle. The other is noticeably shorter and the handle
spins as you crank. I was told by an ex-Rootes dealer that the shorter one with
the spinning handle is appropriate for the Alpine, and the longer non-spinner is
for Hillmans.
Any other opinions out there?

Starter handles were available for all Alpines.
