It's a product of having the starter at the other end of the car from the battery!

The only other car I've owned that had this same arrangement was an old 1960s Austin Mini. The battery was also in the trunk/boot - because it just wouldn't fit anywhere else!!!

Starter current was a lot lower of course... it was only 850cc.
