Being of advanced years I am increasingly drawn to the quieter, happier days of my youth.
Collecting conkers in the Autumn, playing marbles in the Spring, fishing for minnows in the gentle Summer streams.
I stress that I am not actually doing these things, I just yearn for those times.
To try and relive those halcyon days of youth I have decided to find a car of my youth, and restore it to its former glory.
Thus a blog was born. In this journal I intend to record the ups and downs, the difficulties and triumphs of a restoration of a Standard Ten saloon car of 1958.
I will document the process of a restoration and hopefully come out the other side a wiser man.
I look forward to any comments, criticisms and assistance anyone may offer.

good Luck I bought my car by accident when I forgot to put Morris in front of pre war 8 tourer on search google and thus up came my Standard . Woudn't part with it now though
Stan looks really well in those pics Darrell. It's just a bit of a shame that we are almost as far apart as you can get in England without having to don the tartan.
