The Script badges on the bonnet
sides appear to say "Vanguard" and the pressed steel wheels appear
to be Flying 8, as do the overall dimensions. The dashboard in the
centre of another piece of wood, is from a Standard, 1945 -47,
but mounted upside down. Unfortunately there are no photos of the
chassis or engine that might have given more clues to the origins
of this "Standard".
If anyone out there knows anymore
about this car, please register on our messageboard
and tell us
more about it, or email me directly Webmaster
I will update this page with any
new information that I get
UPDATE -20th November 2010
Michael Rodgers, a Triumph 10
owner, has emailed me from the Central Coast of California.
He thinks the car is a Singer, possibly a 9. He owns Singers,
though he can see some similarities and some differences.
Many thanks Michael.
It looks a lot cruder that a Singer - I think the panels may be fibre glass. The Screen is much simpler and more vertical. I think that its a Kit car and the designer was looking at a Singer Sports however.
Thanks for your interest, you are the first person to respond since I published the photos in 2005.
Hope the Triumph 10 is running well. please send some photos.
Kind regards,
Phil
