STANDARD VANGUARD PHASE II DIESEL
Saloon, estate car.
The first catalogued British diesel private car: stiffer and heavier frame, and electrically operated overdrive standard on second and top. 65mph is hard work, but 50pmg possible with gentle driving. Look for these in Wales: the Port Talbot steelworks had a big fleet of them.
