Highlights
- Engine and mechanicals appear to be in good order
- Reupholstered interior presents very nicely
- Some interesting automobila included with the sale as well as a number of spare parts
The Appeal
This charming example of a late-model Standard Eight would make a fantastic classic for an enthusiast who enjoys tinkering in the garage or is just starting out in the world of classic car ownership.
It is an honest car with some pleasing interior and exterior patina that can be excused given the mechanically sound engine and gearbox that make it an enjoyable car to drive.
The History and Paperwork
- Actual mileage is unknown but it has covered around 3,000 miles in the last 10 years
- MOT exempt
- Original registration document from 1957 is included with the sale
- 2x Standard Eight Instruction Books (owners manuals) are also included, one in very good condition and one in average condition
- Various invoices for parts and maintenance work from specialists
- V5C logbook present
This Standard Eight was inherited by the vendor after the passing of a family member who had owned the car since 2018. With no real personal interest in classic cars, the family has decided to look for an enthusiast owner to take the car on.
The Interior
- Reupholstered seats and door cards present very nicely from the front but do bear some signs of ageing on the seat backs
- Carpets appear to have been replaced and are in good condition
- Steering wheel, dashboard and single dial are all very nice
- Boot area is reasonably clean and houses the spare wheel
- Wind-down windows function correctly
Sitting behind the wheel of this Standard Eight is a smile-inducing experience; the recovered seats are relatively comfy and the cockpit is generally nice and tidy.
The headlining does have some clear signs of ageing and would perhaps benefit from being replaced, but overall the interior wears its patina with pride.
The Exterior
- Exterior is in reasonably good condition for the car’s age with no major dents or damage
- Has been repainted at some point in its life; the engine bay is a slightly different shade to the rest of the exterior
- Chrome bumpers are nice and shiny, as are the mirrors and other brightwork
- Wheels, tyres and chrome wheel caps are in very good shape
- Windows, windscreen and all lights do not have any cracks or damage
The car presents reasonably well from the outside, with nice clean body lines that are mostly damage-free. As with most cars of this vintage, there are some blemishes on the paintwork in the form of small paint chips and scratches.
There are some tell-tale signs of corrosion in certain areas, most notably the passenger side sill and lower parts of the doors - please refer to the photographs for a detailed depiction.
The underside appears to be in decent shape and has been previously treated with a rustproofing product.
The Mechanics
- Engine starts and runs very well, purring away at idle and revving freely under acceleration with no smoke
- Said to willingly accelerate as well as an 803cc car from 1957 can do with the four manual gears operating well
- Unassisted brakes and steering are also in keeping with the car’s vintage but reportedly perform as originally intended
- Various spares and consumables included with the sale
The vendor informs us that the car drives nicely no with no untoward noises from the suspension, brakes or steering components. The engine starts up well and sounds as it should do, the exhaust is visually in good condition.
There does appear to be some minor oil leaks from the engine, which is generally expected with cars of this age and they are not considered to be serious.
Summary
This Standard Eight is mechanically in good shape, running and driving as it should. The interior is clean and tidy and while there are some bubbles on the paintwork, it clearly still has a lot of life left in it.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
