First 747 experience was when I was about 7 and my brother about 10, my cousin in littlehampton had a 7( ruby) .
We spent all summer winding up the slope of the drive on the handle then jumping in to freewheel down ( I think the plugs must have been out.
At 16 I got a Ruby from a scrappie in Hexham for £10 . In those days I could just lift the engine out, first time I came across the double spline into the gearbox !
