Eee, ecky thump! I've always referred to my 2.5PI as a Vanguard - because it is. No question! The 
largest and most powerful saloon car made by The Standard Motor Company in 1970 - and with a 
commission plate that says Standard Motor Company,. There's nowt about Triumph on my Vanguard, 'cept 
a few 'cloned' badges on the bodywork and a plagiarised handbook in the glovebox according it the 
name of a Coventry car firm that went bust before WW2. Gotta be a Vanguard - ain't nowt else that 
large made at the Standard aftert war :)
