This is rapidly becoming the second most important one-day event in the crowded Club calendar. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and there was a good turnout of over 20 Standards. Dwarfed by Triumphs as is usual, but a credible performance.

The theme of this years events was "Made from Standard-Triumph Parts", so as well as the mother marque, there were Avons, Bond, Doretti, Fergusons and many others. A feature of this show is a day-long running commentary. As cars are brought forward to the display area, Steve Redway and Graham Robson, both very knowledgeable on Standard-Triumph matters describe the vehicles and interview their owners. There was much interest in all the Standards on display.

There was a semi-formal formal concours competition later in the day when six cars were bought forward for final judging. In the end, the Avon 10/12 of Nick and Joy Thorne was awarded 1st prize in the "Guest" i.e. non-Triumph category, much to the owners delight as this was their first outing to a Standard event. I am sure that you will agree however that this is a very pretty car. You can see more pictures of the Avon here.
