Nice photos Clive, here are a couple of slightly later model station wagons one has a almost identical body to your photo the other has a lot less ribbing both of these are fitted with military floatation tyres
cheers

Lightbulb Standard

Hello guys,
would anyone dig out a photo of a Standard other then Utility being used as a staff car? I am restoring a Standard Flying 12 limousine as one. I found information in our military archive on Standard 4-seat car in service with the Czechoslovak Independent Armored Brigade in the UK but there are no details. I guess the army used many donated civilian cars at the outbreak of WWII.

Cheers Dusan

Default Here is my best effort at a Canadian Staff car...

I had a non runner 39 Dodge D-13 and gave it a quick paint job this weekend. All I am interested in is a backround/gate guardian vehicle for pics behind my CMP stuff. I like it although it may not sastisfy the purist. I still may do the mickey mouse camoflage scheme. Cheers Rob

Default Staffcar Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew 2nd. CID

Hello

Here's a photo of the staffcar belonging to Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew, commander 2nd. Canadian Infantry Division.
The photo was taken 18th. April 1945 outside Groningen townhall after the germans had surrendered, the General visited the Major of Groningen.
I would like to know what kind of car this is.
