Classic Standard 8.
Spied in the public car park was this very solid Standard 8. All the 8 and 10 saloons were 4 door - no 2 doors were offered (apart from on the commercial variants naturally!). Very early 8s had no bootlid and had sliding door glass. This one is a little later and benefits from the wind-up variety.
Standard Books Whether for the 8 as shown below, or any other type of Standard, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

8 on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular 8, or 8s in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Standard shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
