I have had to come to a stop in the Cobra, in traffic, mid way up a steep hill, with maybe six inches behind me and the moron in the next car. "Heel and toeing" the take off is one option, but having a hand brake that holds you while you ease off up the hill is easier. Now I don't have any personal experience with a Jag rear hand brake, but I think Chas has one.
