Seriously though, if you really feel you must have one then you can go electric, Stuart Taylor and Kit Car workshop amongst others sell an electric kit I think, or have a look on Ed's Website, he did his own using a Subaru starter motor and a custom made ring-gear.

cheers mate only got your post this morning, the car is obviously easier to move than I have been thinking, you obviously don't have a reverse

Nope, lots of people don't bother at all because they are so light, you just need to bear it in mind before you swing into a narrow steeply sloped parking bay that you can't drive out of!
Even up a small incline though, you can push it on your own, and with the engine out as mine is at the moment, you can even lift an end and shuffle it around the garage
