A
selection of 50s Standards
Tamil
Nadu's Standard Pennant (badged as a 10 in India))
Hi Phil,
Its about time I
corresponded with you again, 'just saw an article in your site
by my friend & fellow standard enthusiast Karl Bhote and
that got some positive jealousy out of me so thought of
contributing some recent pics. of Indian standards (mostly
on-road) taken by myself as well as other enthusiasts.
MDT 47?? (above)
is a very immaculate Pennant owned by a former standard dealer
in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Photo sent to me by Mr. Sivakumar,
another keen enthusiast from there.
This black Super 10,
CA? 4??0, above, entrant number 43 was photographed by another
friend at a vintage/classic show in Bangalore in 2007. I have no
other details of this car.
The white & blue
Pennant was photographed by another enthusiast Jayadev from Kerala.
The car belongs to his friend and again seems complete barring the
missing vertical grille slats.

Hi Shyam,
Thanks for these
interesting cars, it is good that people are caring for them. They
should act as good examples to the owners of the other cars you
sent to me, which I am afraid I will have to feature in the
"Rust In Peace" section until their owners decide to
take more care of them!
I look forward to
pictures of your own Pennant restoration.
Kind regards,
Phil
