Manual. Always in gear, steering positioned to kerb, handbrake on, clutch in to start
Auto. Always use park and handbrake. (Handbrakes tend to seize when underused.)


Cars in the 60's had effective handbrakes, working on rear drums. Later cars have the difficulties, with the introduction of rear disk brakes. And Citroen's in particular. When their suspension settled the handbrake cable would slacken off.
