Description
- The Standard Eight was effectively a pre-war ‘Flying Eight’ reintroduced in 1945, featuring a 4-speed gearbox and positioned by Standard against period rivals such as the Austin 8 and Morris Eight at a competitive £314 when new
- Partially restored by its long-term second owner, with finishing work completed by the current keeper, a retired technician who has cared for the car since 2011
- This example presents attractively with its classic post-war styling, finished with a recently fitted new hood and period-correct detailing throughout
- Powered by a 1,021cc long-stroke four-cylinder engine producing 28bhp, driving through a 4-speed manual gearbox, providing simple, enjoyable open-top motoring
- Accompanied by its original logbook, a Pittmans Book of The Standard and an original owner’s manual
- A well-preserved and appealing example representing excellent value and an ideal entry point into post-war British classics
