1957 Standard Gold Star 8: Restored/Stunning Car For Sale
The Standard Eight introduced in 1953 was a completely new four door saloon with unit construction and an overhead-valve engine. By 1957 the 803cc engine produced 30 bhp at 5000 rpm through a 4-speed gearbox and the last run ’Gold Star’ benefitted from an opening boot and wind-up windows. The car was popular with small businesses & driving schools alike and over 136, 000 were produced.
Our lovely ‘Gold Star’ was first registered in 1957 and has covered just 57k miles from new.
Summary:
· Full restoration completed by last owner
· Professional bare metal/ high quality respray in original colour (black)
· Metal sun-visor fitted to complete 50’s look
· New carpets & door edge trims
· Wheels powder coated
· 5 x new tyres
· New door hinges & handles
· Bumpers rechromed
· Brakes overhauled – cylinders/ shoes/ copper pipes
· Re-wired
· Ignition – points/ plugs/ leads/ distributor etc all replaced
· Alternator conversion
· Washers/ wipers
On the road the car drives bang on and simply looks right, sounds right and smells right. The Gold Star really captures the 1950/ 60’s classic driving experience and always draws positive comments, smiles & waves
Still carrying her original registration number and with a small history folder that includes a copy of original buff logbook, invoices, MOT’s etc this Standard is a rare survivor.
An ideal entry to classic car ownership that will always be welcome/ win cups at local car shows and could easily be used to earn income from TV & film work – we hired her to a production company filming at Goodwood House this week!!
We recommend early viewing in order to fully appreciate this delightful classic.
