It's

This is the worldwide club for all owners and enthusiasts of Standard Cars

"Dedicated to the preservation of Standard Cars 1903-1963"

Just needs weeding a little!

Its a Flying 9!

Since I last mailed you I have kept an eye on the web site, You are a busy chap, keeping it updated, I have sent off the application form to join the club as promised.

I thought you may like these photo's for your "Rest in Peace" bit, It took my two sons and myself 4 hours to cut it out of the brambles, then the farmer said he didn't want to sell it. I spoke to Chris Bowden and sent the pictures to Steven King, (a couple of nice guys, very helpful), Its been in the field for 35 years, driven in with one valve gone and left to rot by its present owner.  There's not much left now, unfortunately. Never mind, I was hopeful for a while.

Thanks for sending this in Alan,

"Don't try this at home!", let that be a warning to everyone out there. This Flying 9 is much too far gone to make any sense as a restoration project, though it might yield some useful spares once the owner agrees. If you want a project there are much more worthwhile Standards that could be saved.
