It’s strange how some cars fetch silly amounts while other often better cars struggle to make enough to warrant the restoration cost,

I could have bought a fine looking 1936 Standard flying 10 for £50 in 1973. I just fell for the styling. As a student, I didn't have the cash and no one would lend it to me. I have never forgotten the sheer frustration...

(A similar car also with divided rear window like this one)

That looks nice Ray, Standard were I believe were the first manufacturer to introduce independent front suspension on smaller cars along with Vauxhall on larger cars, they were also the first British car maker to offer a V8 engine in a non luxury car, although all their cars were well appointed for the time with such luxuries as town & country horns ash trays in the rear and picnic tables on larger model’s

Standard always produced good-quality motors; unfortunately they suffered (and still do) from their name which became synonymous with basic rather than high standards.

Much as I like the look of the blue Standard, it's hard to justify the price when you could buy this one for a couple of thousand more:

Charming as it is, it does seem to have the same issue with the bottom of the rear doors. I presume it is to be found on all Standards of this period. A wooden frame?
