This section has now been divided into the different
models that constitute this group of 1950's cars. Mainstay of the factory production
during the mid and late fifties, these are solid, well engineered and reliable cars. A
worthy competitor at the time to contemporary Morris Minors and the Austin A30/35, it
survives in much smaller numbers, giving it a rarity interest today.
Standard 8:
The original model launched in 1953 with 803 ccs had
no components carried over from previous models, new engines, gearboxes and suspension.
Styling changes were introduced over the production run, particulary different front-end
treatments, these can be seen in this and the other selections of photographs.

Commercials:
A range of Pickups and Vans based on the 10 and
later on the Pennant. Most led a hard life in various small industries so the survival
rate is low. Today these vehicles are rare and sought after by collectors.
