This is winking at me, but really my head says I should  stick with my 55K miles 1.4D polo that owes me nothing for now.

You and me both @UltraWomble. Got a definite Kei itch that needs scratching. I'd love one of the 90s berserk turbo nutter things but I think I've missed the moment.

Half-decent looking Connie. No MOT and needs welding though.

Surely one of the best looking bikes of the era?

I read it as AVY 437R, which comes back as a Land Rover 109, which wouldn,t have been on coil springs……………

Yes that may be correct. I wonder if Doovla would consider that still to be a 1977 Land Rover? I think not. Probably very little there from 1977. 

The plates are non-compliant anyway.

My reaction was more; fucking hell, it's only a car. The seller wrote a novel (about 90% of which I didn't read).

£750 seems pretty reasonable, and it'd probably go a lot quicker if you took the ERF exhaust off it.

Probably why it's survived. Standrive was pretty challenging technically and many did few miles,  just gave up and put the car away. Probably easy-ish to go back to manual - though fun to get the Standrive working.

The Companions were not wildly successful in period but they look really nice today.

It will probably take a Herald engine etc.

Really really nice. A great buy and nice to be the only one at shows but with pretty common mechanicals.

These 8' and 10's have been much forgotten.

How does the Standrive work ? 
is it like an automatic clutch?

Information on the Standrive two pedal gearbox fitted to the Standard 10.

[lesapandre]

Much later NSU used a similar system on the RO80.

Rootes used a Smiths Industries system which was more like an auto-box called 'Easidrive' using magnets...

https://www.andymurkin.net/Hillman/Hillinfo/Easidrive.html

Small Borg Warner auto boxes eclipsed all this electronic gubbins - they did not stay in use for cars very long in the UK in these original forms. 

[Volksy]

VW and Porsche used a similar system also for the Beetle and 911.

To be honest I saw it had a hardtop, but didn't spot that he'd already "sold it"

There should be an award for useless pictures like this. Even the photos that show it's actually a car aren't great...
