Great video and the cars are superb examples. Speaking of security I seem to remember there was no ignition key for this model just a basic switch and a push button starter.
I had my little 1954 10 Cadet (same colour blue) had the same section cut from the transmission tunnel. I removed it to gain access to the gearbox top bolts. In order to replace the clutch plate, normally a relatively simple task. Otherwise the whole front end suspension has to be dropped and the engine/gearbox lowered to reach all the gearbox housing bolts. Much simpler to just cut a hole in the tunnel to gain access.☺
The oil in the doors and sills will work really well...very Mustie1!

Yes thanks jim.
I have an isolation switch hidden away
Amazing how much of the Standard 10 has been made, wow.

Where was your car located and what happened to it
Standard 8 was my first car bought in 1967 for £45
Probably overpriced back then.
Haha.
I know nothing about The Standard Car Company or their cars, but I’m looking forward to learning something new.
