The Standard sounds absolutely delicious Alex! Also nice to see the Ford of the same vintage running about as well! Looking at your frozen ice I was thinking Mango and I was right! Well done Alex!
My Dad had a Standard 10 as a family car in the very early 60's. I could have been the camera in the back seat, and you, my Dad driving. Even though you look nothing like him. But that was the view I had of the back of his head 90% of the time.😊 Your '10' just purrs along beautifully. Continued happy motoring.
Well done Alex and thanks for the tour of my old stomping ground. I recognised a few parts but having looked on google earth New Milton has changed so much in the 6 years that i left. Keep up the good work. Maurice.
Reminds me so much of the Standard 10 s I used to have . We had the last one for eight years and covered 40.00 miles in it. It took me , my wife and young son all over England on many holidays . Wonderful cars. I now have a 41 year old Ford Granada. Very different but a great car and lots of fun . Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my 10 .
Very nice , Alex 👌... that drivers seat may need some attention . If you wanted a MOT , just an observation, but it's lovely, really 🙏 did the interior mirror sit on the dash, or was that just on the 8 🤔
SO underrated, but an excellent car, last weekend, the Standard Motor Club held its International Rally at Sutton Scotney, near Winchester, pity you did not come, there were some excellent cars and Steph Hoy of "I drive a Classic" did a good video of the actual rally day!
Great seeing you enjoying a potter around! Looks rather quick on the video - seams to pick up well without much effort! Can't beat a bit of mango, though I prefer Sorbet with cracking sauce and maple syrup!
I use one of those suction Halfords mirror like driving instructors have, £7.00 well spent sits just above the dash you can't use a top of the screen one as the visors will keep moving it.
I actually managed to track down a 50s/60s dash mount rear view mirror which I fitted this evening. Looks the part and helps me with reversing/observation etc...
Any experts here? I had a 10 with two small round lights on each side at the front. I cant for the life of me see any other car with indicator and side lights. They all have just one small round white light on either side. Was this an option or a modification someone made to mine. Always looked factory to me. Anyone know???
Would this handle a motorway with six lanes in each direction and an 80MPH speed limit and just tons of very large lorries all around you? Yep that is why Americans drive those larger cars, SUV's and pickups. Can't make Europeans understand that. We just get bashed.

Well done Alex!
Just sat down to watch this having been out in my 1958 Austin cambridge for some ice cream!

What a co-incidence, YOU have just been out to get ICE-CREAM, in YOUR 1958 car!

Today's video does seem filled with co-incidences! At the same time as YOUR dad had one of these, so did MINE!

Hi Alex. Nice to see the old Standard out and about. You must be really chuffed. Great to see the old 100E bombing around too. All the best, Mart.
To MART'S GARAGE
I watch your programme, and I love your Ford 100E!
Lovely. My 10 had exactly the same seat colors. Your video wakes the nostalgia for me over my USA Triumph 10.
When I was growing up, our family had the same, and as well as the upholstery the OUTSIDE was also the same colour! What colour was yours outside?

Squeaky window winders are pretty STANDARD on the 10's. Wonderful car. Can't beat a bit of Mango.
Lol indeed! :)
Great work, Alex. The interior is very cool & lovely to see you enjoying a drive out & about
Lovely clip. Great to know there are people like you around to keep these
old classics on the road.
It's not just that there are PEOPLE like Alex, to keep such cars around. It's that there even ANY of these cars around, for people TO maintain!
I'd feel naked driving with no seat belt, your just too brave.
Great car Alex! Awesome to see you cruising around in it ;)
She runs so sweet
Likewise my father had a couple of standard 10's, and i believe a standard 8, over the years in the 60's, brings back some nice memories.

What a lovely little car that is. Love it! ☺
Maybe some 1950s clothing as a period accessory for this fantastic little car Alex... (Phil)
That reminds me of the story of the young gentleman in the UK who drives a classic and dresses in that very era!

Alex catch tasty classics on a Austin 1300 amazing.2 hours
Fantastic! Definitely a keeper if you can. The rear legroom is a little compromised with your seat set for you 😂But seriously, great car
Hi alex, your drivers seat seems to be at a weird angle like the seat frame has cracked? just an observation, also no speedo?
Yes it does appear quite twisted, also base is sagging. Yes there is currently a speedo fault. More to investigate!...
Such a lovely little car! How are you finding it parts and maintenance wise?
You can engage 1st while moving, just double de-clutch 😂
looks like something protruding at the back of the drivers seat that may tear through.

Not much legroom behind you (!)

Ha not a chance. I'd be terrified on a motorway. These cars were designed for local comuting, and before such things existed.
