Default Bristol in Baja

With my SAAB I could jack up the front wheel, put it in gear and turn the
engine by hand. Presumable the same would apply to a rear wheel on the
Bristol?

Yes, modern cars will not start with a dead battery because of the way the
alternator output is regulated (same with modern bikes).

Yesterday exercising the 403 I heard 'bonking' from in front of the
steering wheel. It was quickly traced to a wind screen motor which had
detached itself from three rubber legs which mounted it onto the car. Is
there a glue that I can use to re attach the motor? Currently it is wedged
in place by a piece of wood I begged of some chaps working on a traction
engine.

Oh the joys of modern motoring!
