Description
This car was originally registered VDU 60. It was re registered in 2008 as 152 XUH, the original number presumably sold, possibly to help fund the modifications for the London to Casablanca endurance rally, in which this vehicletook part in 2009. It still sports it's racing number 6, as well as the drivers and co-drivers names. The chief modifications appear to be the fitting of a 1300cc engine from the Triumph Toledo/ Dolomite range, along with the gearbox and rear axle from same. It has stood for 2 years, but has recently started and driven. The paint is flat olive green shell whilst the body appears solid, it is showing age related wear. Main works required are: complete fabrication/ welding of inner sills. (Serviceable outers supplied.) New tyres required, plus general recommisioning works. The V5 is present together with various old MOT certificates and the suggested build sheet for the rally modifications. A delightful project for somebody wanting to race, rally or hill climb and offered without reserve. The Standard Ten, introduced in the mid-1950s by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, represents a quintessential example of Britain’s post-war small family car. Designed to provide economical and reliable transport, the model quickly gained popularity for its practicality, modest running costs, and straightforward engineering. Today, the Standard Ten is appreciated as an honest and characterful representative of Britain’s motoring heritage, offering an accessible entry into classic ownership and a nostalgic reminder of a more straightforward automotive age. This vehicle is located near Gotham, Nottingham NG11 from where it will need to be collected. Motorscan report and videos available on request.
