Seller's comments about 1926' Standard Coventry Tourer
This 1926 Standard Coventry was exported new to Australia and lived most of it's life there. There is some early photographs of the car taken in Australia. It's a four-seater touring body style with a roof that retracts fully.
It is powered by Standard's 11. 4hp, four-cylinder overhead-valve engine featuring exposed pushrods and rockers, Zenith carburettor, Lucas magneto ignition and a 6-volt generator. It is believed that it was professionally restored for Australia's Bi-Centenary Celebration Rally of 1988, and that it completed the full distance.
It came back to the UK from Australia in 2019 where work was carried out to recover from the long-term storage it was in. The engine was tested, refurbished, rebuilt and refitted. It also had the radiator overhauled and comes with a good quality of paperwork as well as attendance badges and numbers from events it completed in Australia.
