I think I prefer the early ones with less chrome! They did their best to keep the 8 as simple and affordable as possible.

Peak post-war austerity. Amazing to think what the Yanks were running around in at the same time.

For reference some rough prices for 1952/53.

Ford Popular - £390

Standard 8 - £480

Ford Anglia - £510

Austin A30 - £550

Morris Minor - £630

Vauxhall Wyvern - £770

It's a 1.3! Deserves to be saved, but to paraphrase Carter USM, you'd probably need to be the Master Welder of Bexhill-on-Sea.

Don’t know why I can’t get eBay links to work anymore, wasn’t a problem before. 
Anyway, this looks pretty honest and a model I enjoyed when new. Great to see it still wearing its original wheel trims.

Kinda taken by this Sierra. I was never into them, but it fits my requirements (old, simple, not fooked) and in todays climate doesn't strike me as overpriced.

Have you spotted this @FakeConcern?

No I don't even recognise the location. Canterbury registration though.

There was also a '10' - slightly more powerful in the same body - with opening boot this time.

Surprisingly - in the US export market the car was badged as the 'Triumph 10' and in Scandinavia sold as the 'Standard Vanguard Junior' - trading on more well know badges. In Australia the 10 was known as a 'Cadet'.

No 'hot' version was ever produced - British manufacturers didn't seem to do that then.

A tail-finned and slightly fussy version of the 10, the Standard Pennant was produced 1957-61. Superceded by the Herald.

Standard-Triumph was bought by Leyland Motors in 1960  - and the historic Standard named dropped in 1963 in the UK. Cars were assembled in India under the brand until 1988.

Ford started the sporty saloon version with the mk1 cortina GT, there never was an Anglia GT. Vexhils first in house was I think the FB vx4/90 ( the viva sl90 was trim & brakes).

The bottle of Redex in the door pocket is just perfect.

The people who call it a Robin Reliant, I wonder if they do the same with other things?

Hi, I'm Johnson Steve! This is my wife, Smith Susan. I live in Regis Bognor, Sussex West, in Britain Great. And this is my Robin Reliant!

The seats are like an abstract artist's interpretation of violent vomiting.

Which was the style at the time
