The only way to do it was in reverse and running up a wedge to start the tip, apparently...
Interesting! I think it was around 1963 when I went on a school trip to northern Italy, involving a coach journey across France and Switzerland. On one of the Swiss passes we came across a 2CV on its side, with people milling around. One of the teachers was a qualified St John's Ambulance guy, so he got out to see if he could help, to be greeted with 'Oh, we're fine, it's always doing that!'
