A real touring car, this Standard from Coventry in England. The roof is weatherproof and the side windows are removable, so that the occupants are well protected in bad weather and can enjoy a fully open car in good weather. This relatively simple Standard was not intended to be driven by a chauffeur, but by the owner himself. The two liter Standard Eleven SLO4 followed in 1922, after the SLO that had been introduced two years earlier. The car has steel wheels, which was relatively modern at the time. "Just count them when you see them on the road" is Standard's slogan. Not entirely without reason, because in 1923 the Standard Motor Company, with an annual production of ten thousand cars, was the third largest British car manufacturer.
