Hello Mr Jané   

I understand that you have no documents with the car.

The Car is a circa 1933 Standard Little 9. Certainly it is a late model. If you give me the commission number which is on a plate under he bonnet on the bulkhead ( firewall)  then I can tell you the date more accurately.

I think it is a Little 9 because the front doors are mounted ( hinged) on the A post, ( Later 9's have them mounted on the B post) and the pointed lower corners of the windscreen.

 
This car has some unusual features and I wonder if any reader can shed any light on the reasons:
  • The car should have wire wheels, the pressed steel wheels are not the originals.  
  • The car has an interesting boot fitted. The 9 would have had no boot, so the spare wheel was mounted on the outside. Someone appears to have added a boot and mounted the spare wheel  on the outside of that,   It appears to be very well done - but not in the Standard factory. Or maybe it was an export only fitting?

The rest of the car appears to be complete but the original side and stop lights have been replaced, and flashing indicators added.

 
It is difficult to say how much the car is worth in Spain as there is no market for them. In England the car is worth 500€ to 1000€ if someone wants to restore it - because restoration will cost many thousands of Euros on top of that.
 
If you would like to advertise the car in the club's magazine, please let us know by reply to this email. It would subsequently be advertised on the website - there is no charge for this

Below is the 2nd photograph sent of this car, showing more detail of the grafted on boot

 

If you know of other Standards in Spain or elsewhere in continental Europe, please send me an email.

 


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 message at: Phil Homer
