Phase 2  Vanguard  Feature

Vanguard II provides regular enjoyment for enthusiastic owner

Brian Birch has been an active campaigner and enthusiastic user of products of the Standard Motor Company for many years now. We have featured his Atlas Kennex Minibus Conversion before, but now here is  his main mode of Standard transport. His Vanguard II is an older restoration but still in remarkably good order

The Series II is distinguished from the Series I mainly by the adoption of a 3- box design, to include a  conventional boot

 

The addition of a towbar makes this a useful load hauler
