    Everyone? How else are you going to change gear?

    I think a more interesting question would be:

    How many people learned to drive in a car with a manual Choke?

      Not me, but I learned to drive a 1967 tractor before driving a car, and you have to manually preheat the glowplug.

      I had an old Series era Landrover as a paddock basher when I was a kid, that had a manual choke. It also had a backup crank handle for starting the engine which I had to use occasionally as I was using starter batteries which had been retired from usage in the family cars, a gearbox with no synchro on first/second, and the foot brake didn’t work. Would recommend, I definitely had fun.
