Good luck to all competitors in this year’s Club Triumph, Round Britain Reliability Run. A 2,000 mile, 48-hour dash around the Country all for Charity. This year’s chosen charity is Parkinsons UK

David Shepherd has competed in the RBRR twice before, once in his daughter's Dolomite 1300 and again in his son's Triumph 2500 saloon. He had a hankering to do the event in a Standard 8 or 10.

Finding this Sliding Window Standard 8 fitted with a 948cc engine, and the useful addition of twin SU carburettors, David decided it fitted the bill nicely!

A recent reliable 400 mile proving trip to Gaydon to attend the RBRR briefing went without a hitch.

We will be following his progress with interest.

Please spare some cash for this worthwhile cause

Farewell to Rally Legend - Stuart Turner - 9th September 2025

As Comps Supremo at BMC and Ford, Stuart Turner masterminded the Mini’s era-defining victories, guided the Es**rt to legendary status, and played a hand in projects like the ferocious RS200.

Before those triumphs, he cut his teeth with the Standard-Triumph Works Rally Team — tackling the RAC, Tulip, and Monte Carlo Rallies with trademark grit and intelligence. His influence shaped rallying’s golden age.

When asked to define rallying in five words, he replied perfectly: “Es**rt sideways in the Forest.”

A genius, a gentleman, and a legend of the sport

This old slide of a Standard with a “flame job” was a trip down memory lane for me.

When I was growing up as a car crazy kid in the ‘70’s, no car was safe from a flame job. Es**rts, Cortinas, Anglias etc but also cars like this little Standard.

The craze seems to have died down except for traditional Hot Rods.

A flame job on a Tesla? Can’t see it happening…

Came across some very big puddles on the way to this year’s Goodwood Revival!

I really enjoyed this very positive review of a daily driven Standard 10.

They’re very practical cars. It’s good to hear that Steph, who is on the shorter side, felt as comfortable as I do in my 10 (I’m well over 6 foot)

My daily driver “Snowflake” is less claustrophobic than a modern car and a comfortable ride with her modern Mazda MX5 seats.

Standard Ten - a 50s British classic saloon car we just don't hear enough about (a rival to the Morris Minor and Austin a30) ____After the Second World War, ...
