They stopped making cars with manual chokes in the early 90's I think. My first car was a Talbot Samba and that had a choke.
Also, the only car I ever stole and crashed (my mate Rob's) was a Vauxhall Chevette and that had a choke.
I was so drunk that I didn't realise why it was revving so hard as I crashed it into a lampost because the choke was fully out.
