Can you
identify this Standard Engine?
What is it?
Len Barr has
sent me this photograph of a very early 4 Cylinder Standard Engine
that he can not recognise. It lives in the Coventry Museum of
Transport and is painted some garish colours. It may well be circa
or pre the first world war period, it may even predate the oldest
surviving Standard of 1907. In which case it would be very
significant indeed.
The cylinders are cast
in 2 separate blocks, the exhaust and inlet manifolds are separate
and the side valves are operated by exposed rods.
If you know what it
is, or have any information, please let the webmaster
know.

and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
have material and photographs, please let me know. Please send me, Phil Homer, a
