1954 Standard Eight saloon. Classic little British 50's budget car.

Here's a little vid of my old Standard Eight that I restored a couple of years ago. Sold it a while ago.

A fine example of a Standard 8, you must hve put in a lot of work there. Very tidy!

@58Standard

Thanks for that!! Lots of work but I loved every minute of it. I was a bit disappointed with the way it drove though after all that! Guess I've been spoilt with driving my Cadillacs!!!

Nice car - makes you realize how much things have moved on since. Why's it got that dreadful steering wheel?

@rooftopjump

sorry roofy. The original was cracked and I wasn't sure if it would pass its m.o.t. with it. Things have moved on - but, no body is going to look at one of our modern cars in 50 years time and go ' Ahhh, isn't that cute'. lol.

Thanks Hoggy boy!

Sold this car a while ago now. Maybe should've washed it first before taking the vid tho!
