Rare 6-door  Companion Feature

Standard Companion in use as a Taxi in Cuba

The twin rear doors are easily seen in this shot

Ken Ransom has given me these photos of a Standard Companion that he captured in use as a Taxi in Cuba. My apologies that it has taken me some time to publish them. Firstly, a Companion is unusual but one still in use as a Taxi is is very unusual indeed.  But what makes this even more interesting is that it is the rarer version with 2 rear doors. So that makes it the only six-door Companion on the Website today.

Until, of course, someone sends me a photo of another one, which of course you are very welcome to do.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble Ken, and my apologies for loosing your contact details.

Below: Is it just me, or is the roof rack on at a strange angle?

 Hopefully there will Companions at the Standard International Rally, could yours join them?
