I spotted a couple of old ones in Dorking, Surrey today. What's this I caught in the headlights?  and a 305 van!  |

Lack of bootlid means Standard 8 rather than Standard 10 I think.  |

As it appears to have a bootlid it must be a Standard 10. |

That van's been going round Dorking for yonks and yonks. Is that picture taken at the lights by the train station? I bet it is!

As it appears to have a bootlid it must be a Standard 10. Phase II deluxe Eights had an opening bootlid... (takes off anorak... ) |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

OK, OK so I missed the hinges etc!
Might the lower handles be for a spare wheel well cover?
