Here's another one to add to the list of these scarse gems...a RHD Standard oval. This one is from 54 or early 55 if I remember well, as the position of the taillights indicates, despite being later ones from 55-61. Also, a dual exhaust was fitted as well as a chrome strip and badge on the front bonnet. Lovely car, lovely excentric owner! :D

Very nice :wink: Love the hub caps too. I know this car, it's a '54. The owner is certainly a real character :D

It's got the wrong rear valance for a '54, should have no cut outs and a single tail pipe exhaust... .......getting a bit like The Samba now. :wink:

I know the car well, its a '54 Standard for sure. It has also had a synchromesh box fitted, as well as being repainted outside to the wrong shade of grey. But it's a great sound car, and well worth having, as well as easy to make original. This is truly a rare car :!:

Thank you, appreciate that. If anyone know any history would be good to put something together 😁
