To build  the car, didn't Standard just 'drop' a completed body onto a
frame that had  the radiator, engine, gearbox, etc. already in place?

I'm not saying  it's easy or that it's wise, but from photos I've seen

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what they did. Similar with the TR4, where  
I believe bodies were painted and trimmed elsewhere (Liverpool?) and then  
brought to Coventry to be united with fully equipped chassis.
