I was having lunch with some coworkers today and one of them mentioned
that she had a 1953 Standard Vanguard in her garage. It hasn't been
driven in a few years, since the clutch/brake M/C (one unit?) started
misbehaving. She had used some NOS rebuild parts, but apparently the
clutch master cylinder is out of round, and she can't get the clutch
bled.
Her father bought in in England and shipped it here. It still has the
original British license plates. It was licensed in Missouri a few
years ago.
She says it's a shame it's just sitting, but she doesn't have time for
it, and it's taking up space in her garage.
If anyone is seriously interested, she might be able to get some
photos of the car. I may bug her to go and look at it myself.
If you're interested, send me an email and I'll pass it on. If you're
not interested, but have an idea of the value of such a vehicle, in
apparently good condition but unrestored, please let ME know!
Thanks,
Larry
