Seems to be in pretty good condition. Nice find.

We're waiting for some pics from you too....

Nope.

There are actually two ways to define vintage. One is by stating that any car built before the second world war is vintage, and the other is by stating that any car which is more than 60 or 70 years old is vintage.

The Herald seen in the pics is defenitely not vintage.

Can members post photographs of Standard Cars ? Both 'in use' and scrap.

I think you'll find quite a few of them already in these topics:

Welcome stampro!

Glad to find another devoted standard car enthusiast!
As iraghava mentioned, you can find any discussions/pics. of Standards going on in those threads.
By the way, I think I've seen the pics. of the companion in your avtaar-they were sent to me by a friend in Bangalore when the car was for sale a few years ago....did you purchase it eventually? It was an immaculate one-owner car though.

And yeah, are there still any Standards seen around in Madurai? I know of a few cars in Madras.

stampro · 9th September 2007, 13:58

Yes I would prefer a seperate thread for standards

stampro · 9th September 2007, 14:02

yes stanher, there are standards in use at Madurai like this pennant.

Stanher · 9th September 2007, 15:53

Wow, lovely pennant stampro! I guess this was the rare single colour the car was available in, they were otherwise sold in dual colours.
Nice to see standards surviving in places other than the major ciites down south!
Do you know the owner well, if so you can invite them to this forum as well.
And you should get to know another member here- karl (ID- karlosdeville) from pune who's also got a nice green & white 1-owner pennant owned by his relatives from new.

speedy · 9th September 2007, 16:02

welcome stampro, i see we have one more standard lover add to the list. my friends stanher and karl have company

.
i did not know that the standard penent are still used in madurai. like stanher pointed out i thought only in major cities. the car does look great in a single colour and well kept too, karl will enjoy this immensely.

JayD · 9th September 2007, 19:00

Ah, that's a beautiful penant. My grandfather used to have one, was originally blue and white, then repainted to black. Btw, is the car in the profile picture yours?? ca we have some info and pics??

Well I would say its not a bad chop-top conversion.....but those plastic hubcaps....*puke*
And there is something that looks like an anti-roll bar over the front seat...?

DHABHAR.BEHRAM · 12th September 2007, 20:02

Hello Stanher (Shyam), Stampro and Karl (you know it) - I am trying to purchase a good Standard Super 10 (first choice) or a Pennant (second choice). Can you please help ?

Best regards,
