This 1954 Standard Vanguard is believed to have had just one owner up until 2014, with the car being in storage from 1991 until recommissioned in 2016 with many new and reconditioned parts.

It has been a rolling restoration since then, with new pistons and liners, unleaded cylinder head conversion, recored radiator and stainless steel exhaust.

It was resprayed in 2021.

Recent work has included new fuel pipes and tap.

It was registered in August 1954 and has 74,816 miles on its odometer.
