[snip wacky patterns]

The old DAF Variomatic (infinite-ratio belt drive - it was a
proto-CVR system) had a

Forward
Neutral
Reverse

lever, with just arrows for the indication. My grandfather owned a
66DL which would frequently die as it was put in Forward mode. He
habitually started it in gear with a very dangerous jump forward as the
engine fired.

I encountered a later one of these cars, badged as Volvo 66GL (I dunno
what constituted the Grandiosity of its Luxury - more cheap fake
plastic woodwork, probably), and this had a more normal PRND selector,
though P was quite useless as the parking pawl would stick horribly.
(The handbrake was also quite useless, so parking was rather
precarious.)

That 66GL had a cut-out switch so you couldn't start it in D, but with
automatic choke being what it was would also frequently die when put in
gear. "Try Reverse." "Bloody hell!"

Yup, it'd do the familiar jump when started in R.
