November 12th -14th
NEC Birmingham
Classic Car Show
The Theme of the Standard Motor Club's stand is a the record-breaking run
from Capetown to Tangiers s in 1958, which was a proving run for the
protoype Triumph Herald, to be launched in 1959. That's 9650 miles mostly
on
unmade roads through jungle and across the Sahara. All five cars on the
run
made it successfully to the destination.
The support vehicles were a Standard Atlas Caravanette, A Standard 10
Companion Estate car and a Phase 3 Vanguard Estate Car. There were two
Herald prototypes, a Saloon and a Coupé. What is most remarkable is that,
with the exception of the Vanguard, all the other cars had identical engines
of just 948ccs! All the cars were built in the Standard-Triumph factory at
Canley, Coventry.
Examples of the Vanguard, Companion and Atlas will all be on our stand all
weekend, along with a Triumph Herald. Lack of space prevents us from
displaying a second Herald. The Club will be showing film of the event and
books describing the run will be available for purchase.
The Club gratefully acknowledges www.triumph-herald.com for support in
putting on this display.
The Standard Motor Club caters for all Standards from 1903 to 1963 and
currently has a membership of 800
photos of all the models involved in our display are available on request
press-office@standardmotorclub.org.uk
I look forward to see you at the show
