My mate had a Standard Vanguard that went surprisingly well in its day with a TR engine fitted(considering it was a tractor engine) and would keep up with the Zephyr / Zodiacs of the time. Don't forget all the "proper" Elan's used Herald front suspension as well. Why they bothered with not fitting a boot lid to the Standard 8 but did the 10 was a bit of a puzzle, as when it was made it couldn't have saved an awful lot ?. I totally agree with the last of the Vitesse's and a good one was a joy to drive.
Mentioning Michelin X they never used to wear out !
