Jonmac,
Perhaps you can help with another semantics question. I once owned a (1960?
61?) Standard-Triumph Ensign. I have never seen another of these, nor heard of
one being mentioned on this list.
Sadly, the car met its demise when the barn beside which it was sitting was hit
by lightning. A burning beam fell across the car, forming it into a V-shape.
Its trunk flew across the field when the gas tank blew, the glass all melted,
etc. Quite spectacular.
For many years I hung on to the original service manual for this car, perhaps
for nostalgic reasons, and it now sits in John Gillis' collection in Ireland.
The manual also covered the Vanguard, and Vanguard Estate, which I believe were
up-scale versions of the Ensign.
So, were the Ensign and Vanguard re-badged Standard 10s, or were they different?
Thanks,
Jim
