I'm fairly certain that particular one is an Australian import. I pnow the
earlier Vanguards were produced in the UK as Vans and Pickups (very popular
with the RAF), but I'm not certain about the Phase 3. I do know that's the only
one we ever get to see at any shows.
There was also a very rough 1964 Standard 10 Pickup with the Pennant front
- that one turned up on a trailer and was for sale. I was tempted until I saw
exactly how bad it was and found out the asking price was 600 pounds! It made
Y128 look like concourse material.
Cheers,
Bill.
