Standard Ensign : car brochure : issued by the Standard Motor Company, Coventry : 1957
A rather tattered brochure for the 1957 launch of the Standard Ensign motor car. The Ensign was a cheaper specification version of the company's Vanguard and it remained in production under 1961. As can be seen this range from Standard played heavily on Naval connotations.
The Standard Motor Company had been formed in Coventry in 1903 and in 1945 had purchased the Triumph motor concern. In 1959 the company became known as Standard-Triumph and over the next few years the Standard marque was phased out.
