This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1980.
It's a 1930 Standard Teignmouth but I no longer have the programme of the event so don't have details of the car and owner. I found this information in the Standard Register:
'A very popular model was the
four door, four light, ‘Teignmouth’ fabric saloon. This was later joined by a six-light
steel-bodied coach built saloon which was also called the ‘Teignmouth’, this
was joined in the range by the ‘Selby’ tourer, and the continental looking, two
door, four seater, fabric bodied tourist coupe. A contemporary road test of the
‘Teignmouth’ saloon, then priced at £215, showed a top speed of 52 m.p.h., 10 –
30 m.p.h. in middle gear in ten seconds, and petrol consumption of 32 – 34
m.p.g. The gear ratios were 5.0, 9.3 and
20.0 to 1.'
