Two Irish market specials, a Triumph badged Standard Pennant
and a 1.2 B series engined A55, the A45. There was also a 1.2 Wolseley 1500 for the Irish market in 1957

I like the "Air Conditioing" label on the Triumph Pennant.
Does that mean wind up windows?

Hi

I wonder if that engine was the same one as appeared in the post Somerset, A40 Cambridge which had a similar body to the A50
