Ok, I admit. Photos are not that great that they deserved to be here, but I’m happy that at least I were somehow able to get some feel of speed with couple of shots.

I only knew that is should come, but not exact time. And that hopefully it will pass me without other cars messing to much the picture.

The thing is that when you hear that it is good change to see on the road, to be driven 88 years old car to it’s new “home”. A car which also as far as known is the one and only existing example of such model, you are ready to wait a few extra minutes in freezing Finnish summer evening to see if it really show’s up :D

So here you go, British car manufacturer Standard Motor Company and its 1924 Standard Leamington on the streets of Helsinki (Finland) :wink

    what an odd-looking little car... and what a great opportunity to capture a bit of automotive history in action! nicely done.
