This
article follows on from "Driver of the
Day"
14th November 2009 Given how wonderful
yesterday was (see previous article Driver of the Day), it would be easy
to forget to pay due attention to the birthday presents I received this
year. Of them all, this present is particularly special – a tiny metal
model of a Standard 8. Despite only measuring in at 24mm in length and
9mm in width, this tiny Standard is impressively detailed. My partner
Chris has managed to find it for me somewhere on the Internet. Normally
the model would be painted and sat trackside on a model railway set. I
however, like the model as it is with its shining silver body. It seems
too intricate to tamper with – I think the details would be lost were
it to be painted. For a long time after opening this present, I am unable
to put the tiny car back down. I have the smallest version of Henry I
will likely ever see in the palm of my hand and I am intrigued. This
little Standard is nothing short of a small wonder. Gillian Carmoodie (Feb 2011) There are more photos on
