1931
Avon Standard 9
Contents
of a letter written to Peter Lockley, Chairman of the Standard
Motor Club.
Dear
Mr Lockley,
I
spotted your name in the local papers concerning the Rally at
Charlecote Park.
The
enclosed photo was given to me by an elderly gentleman, since
deceased, who had driven the car for 3 years in the 1950's and
couldn't remember the make. "Did I know?" I couldn't
tell.
Looking
at it again recently, I felt I could discern a shouldered radiator
- and if it was a Standard chassis, could it be an Avon body?
When
I saw the article I thought I would send it to you to see what the
Standard Motor Club thinks.
I
should be very pleased to hear from you. and should it turn out to
be a Standard, do please retain the photo for your files.
Yours
sincerely
Trevor
Morgan
Dear
Mr Morgan,
Re
Standard Avon
Thank
you for your letter and enclosure.
I
am most grateful to you for forwarding the picture. The vehicle
appears to be virtually identical to a 1931 Standard 9Hp and I
enclose a copy of the car from a page
on our website, together with a couple of pages of additional
cars.
I
will certainly arrange for it to be retained in our archives
Yours
sincerely
Peter
J Lockley
I am aware that there are other cars
and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
have material and photographs, please let me know. Please send me, Phil Homer, a
