Standard Ten 1954

Standard launched its Standard 8 to replace the Triumph Mayflower in September 1953, and in March 1954 the Standard Ten was launched. Sir John Black had financed a brand new model which was given a new 803cc ohv engine, which was scaled up to 948cc for the Stanard Ten (and subsequently scaled up to a 2500cc straight six fuel-injected unit for the TR5). However the original Eight was so basic it lacked even a bootlid or wind-down windows. These features were gradually installed, first to the Ten models and later to the better equipped Eights. Standard added the Companion Estate car in October 1954 and after a modest 'Phase II' facelift in Spring 1957 Standard produced an upmarket 'Pennant' model with hooded lamps, rear wings, larger rear window and more power and equipment. The Triumph Herald replaced the saloon models in 1959, and the Herald Estate took out the Companion in 1961. Van and Pickup versions of the Standard 8 and 10 had been available since 1954 and continued until 1964.
