Standards utility model and rival for the Austin A30, Morris Minor. Launched in 1953 the Standard Eight and Ten were designed by Vic Hammond as an entirely new car. The Eight was only offered as a four door Saloon, powered by a new OHV engine of 803cc and an output of 26bhp, which was down on the outgoing side valve unit, but was increased in 1957 to 30bhp. Drive was delivered via a four speed gearbox, with synchromesh on the top three ratios, with an option of overdrive from March 1957.
The bodies were of unitary construction, with coil independant front suspension and hypoid rear. Early ones have minimal trim, sliding windows and internal access to the boot. Winding windows on the Deluxe from 1954, and the rest from May 1955. Better equipped Super from 1956 and the triple overdrive Gold Star from 1957
