1961 – Standard Vanguard Six Mark III 2.0 – £5000

Step back in time with this rare 1961 Standard Vanguard Six MK III, a classic British motor with a fascinating history and remarkable preservation. Purchased from a museum in 2002 and carefully stored, this 1998cc vehicle boasts an original reconditioned Standard/Triumph engine and an intriguing odometer reading of 69,447 miles. With its unique 3-speed column change transmission, this ULEZ-compliant classic is perfect for enthusiasts seeking an authentic vintage driving experience.

Recently recommissioned in April 2024, this Vanguard has undergone comprehensive mechanical restoration, including new brake components, wheel cylinders, and suspension parts sourced directly from the Standard Owners Club. While the bodywork shows some character – including minor paint flaking, a small crease, and light surface rust – the overall structure remains impressively solid. Requiring some cosmetic attention such as resealing window rubbers, reconnecting electrics, and potentially respraying, this car represents an exciting project for a dedicated classic car lover who appreciates originality and is ready to bring a piece of automotive history back to its former glory.
