The starting handle is a mechanical hand-cranking tool used to manually turn over the engine on early Land Rover Series vehicles, providing an alternative starting method when the battery or starter motor is insufficient. It engages with the crankshaft nose at the front of the engine, allowing the operator to rotate the engine by hand to initiate combustion. Having a functioning starting handle is particularly relevant in field conditions where electrical starting is not viable.
