Series and Model Information | ||
| The Standard Eight used new numerical designations with no reference to wheelbase. The standard compression ratio was raised to 6.0:1 (with lower or higher ratios available optionally); horsepower was boosted to 110. The frame was a new double-drop design with X-bracing. Ride control was standard, and the harmonic stabilizer front bumper an option. The cars were introduced with the four-speed transmission, but late in the model run a three-speed with synchromesh and vacuum clutch was fitted. | ||
