    While it is a shame the Standard has moved on, I definitely understand your circumstances. I myself cannot afford a vehicle, everything is so expensive. Petrol in the UK 🇬🇧 is even more expensive than the US!
    I am glad of the work you have performed, and I believe that it has gone to a very good home!
    George deserves restoration, it being your main vehicle. The Allegro was never imported to the US, I love rare and unusual vehicles, it is why I watch and subscribed. George will come out looking better than new!
    Wishing you the best Alex!

    That's a lovely little car. The paintwork came up nicely. Hope the new owner is pleased with it!

    Sad to see Stanley go, but you have improved him and given him the exposure so more people know about the Standard 10!
    Hope to see you in an Activa, though a C6 or a certain Imp would be fine too! However given your love of fast cars, it's got to be a TVR!

    Looking forward to more in the future, George seems fascinating, not released here in Australia .

    Tough decision Alex, but sounds like it is for the best!

    I told you!
    Sad you had to sell. But you have more cars than dinners. 😂 George is obviously more deserving

    Sad that you have had so little time with this gem of a car but that's how it goes sometimes. My 1960 Riley 1.5 was not with me long but that's because I managed to set fire to it! At least the 10 will continue to give pleasure to a new owner.

    That’s a shame as I only found and watched your channel as I learned to drive in a Standard 10.

    Sorry to see the little 10 go. Sounds like a sound decision on your part. Someone is getting a very good car. Maybe it'll pop back up on another channel.
    It'll be fun for your viewers and rewarding for you to see the Allegro brought back into top fettle.
    Good luck.

    Sad to see the Standard go mate, really love the car but fully appreciate why you had to do it. Can’t argue with finances!

    It's a shame you didn't get more than £2395, would've thought it nearer £3000.

    Long time watcher but haven’t commented much, but felt like I should chime in on this one.
    Don’t get your finances out of line for the sake of buying cars for UA-cam content. George is the ‘one’ so focus your energy and finances on the one car that means something to you.
    Viewers will enjoy watching videos and updates on George as they will see the time and effort you put in and will look forward to whatever update you have next 👍🏼

    Shame , but you have to do what is right for you.

    Cars are so expensive to run - insurance is silly and no claims not being applicable to a second car (thanks Admiral) is just daylight robbery ... If you have proven you are a low risk driving one car, why would you not be the same low risk on a second car? If anything you should get more discount as you can only drive one car at a time!

    Tough decision - try and get a cheap little winter hack so George, once freshly painted, isn't doing the duty in December.
