Photographs
A selection of factory
photographs that the club has recently collected. I will add more
to them over time, so come back periodically. They are
reproduced with accompanying text, which I can not verify as being
correct in all cases. If you have any more photographs that I
don't have here, that I could borrow, I would be grateful. Send them
to me at 43: The Ridgeway, St. Albans, Herts., AL4 9NR. I will
scan and return them immediately and refund your postage. This is
an opportunity to help your fellow members.
All photographs on this page, as
all others on this site are copyright, Standard Motor Club and can

As usual, you can click on any
thumbprint to see an enlarged version. These photographs are
compressed so they will not print well. If you would like a copy
to aid your restoration maybe, please contact me for an
uncompressed and even larger version.
