After restoration this car has won Top Hat Oldies but Goodies and Classic Touring Car races
The staff at IK Classics take great pride in what we do. Especially when it involves taking a car that is getting past its best and turning it into something special like this Standard Vanguard that we have just recreated as a race car.
Bought from eBay as a 3 owner 28,000 mile barn find restoration project in November 2005, the vehicle was completely stripped and race prepared in time for the Top Hat/ Goodwood test day in March 2006.
At which point it was selected to compete in the 2006 St Mary’s Trophy Race and was driven by Richard Attwood and Ian Kellett. The car finished a creditable 12th on aggregate.
The car has taken many class wins over the last two years - both with Top Hat Oldies but Goodies - and the Classic Touring Car races.
It is hoped that the car will once more be selected for the 2008 Goodwood St Mary’s Trophy Race.
