IF I had space and a workshop I'd love that little Standard 8 (lot 2)..
My dear old dad bought a Standard 8 new in 1955 (Black reg number RDU 174) and I remember the heater being an optional extra. I learnt to drive it up and down the lane behind our house, he kept it until 1972 when it was replaced by a 1.3 Marina coupe, I think the colour of the Marina was Aqua.
But lot's of nice looking cars to pick from this time.
I may just have a drive to Poole and have a look on the day.
