Standards gather for the first ever Standard Rally

The First Annual Standard Rally

The first rally for Standard cars was held at the factory on September 3rd 1960. A full report on it appeared in the Standard Car Review and is reproduced below. You may find it difficult to read the scanned text, please click on each of the pages to see much clearer enlargements.

The Standard Motor Club keeps this Annual institution alive, this year will be the 50th  gathering in an unbroken series and takes place at the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester.

Already, over 80 cars have entered including some of the cars that were at the first Rally, still on the road despite being 50 years older. We are planning for 120 cars entered by the weekend. Nick Black, youngest son of Sir John Black will be presenting the prizes.

If you would like to enter a car in this historic event, just click here. You are also very welcome to view the cars, and meet their owners. Just turn up on Sunday 28th June. If you only come to one Standard event this year, make it this one!

Now here is that report:
