A standard 8

[karen]

my parents in their 80s now had an open topped standard 8 for their honeymoon.
We would love to give them a trip out in one and wondered if there was anyone WITHIN 30 OR 50 MILES OF NORWICH, NOTTINGHAM OR Oxford who might be willing to give them a spin at some time for a fee. Open topped or not! 
MANY THANKS
KAREN

Karen, its a lovely idea, and I hope you find someone to help.
Just be aware that the forum is used by people mostly for technical queries.

Have you tried either of the Facebook sites? There is a SMC page, details in the rolling banner at the top of the forum page, and there is also a "Standard Motor Company" page. You might have better luck, or at least a wider audience, on those pages?

Hi, just seen this message. I have a 1939 Flying 8 drophead coupe, I'm in Dunstable, Beds, is that too far?

I'm just waiting for a valve for my engine (I was sent a wrong one) but hopefully should be back on the road this weekend. I'm happy to help if you haven't got anyone yet.
