Hi has anyone on here got any info on the standard 8 or 10s ie what other wheels would fit.?/just seen one on ebay and it has cosmic alloys on and I think something like that is needed to pep it up a bit...grateful for any suggestions and thanks

Anything from the Triumph Herald/Vitesse/Spitfire/GT6 range is a straight swap; in fact the early Triumph Herald wheel is identical. So any after-market wheel designed for the Triumph range is suitable. Come to think, you can also add Triumph Dolomite and Morris marina to that list.

Is that the red/black one?

As MikeC says, Herald/Spitfire wheels will go on, as will Dolomite ones although I'm trying to remember if the offset on Dolly wheels was slightly different than those fitted to Heralds etc?

I would go for one of the others on Ebay at the moment. Two Standard Tens, both under 1000 UKP, both in a more original condition. And a 10 does have a slightly bigger engine and a proper bootlid.

The Standard Ten is a gorgeous little car. I owned a panel van version for several years in the early sixties. My wife and I did a lot of our courting in it. We used it to explore Southern England. In fact I wouldn't mind another one now!

I like them a lot too, I ran a Standrive Ten for some time, and later a Companion (estate). Like Keith, I'd own another one tomorrow, and would probably be looking for one now had I not bought my MM as a (hopeful) regular user.
