On the Surface:

This 1936 Standard Nine D2 presents an appealing opportunity for a complete restoration of a pre war vehicle. For those with patience and dedication, this example has the potential to become a charming showpiece or a rewarding classic motoring project.

Maintenance & History:

The current owner, who acquired the car in 2024 with plans to renovate, has been unable to proceed due to health reasons. As such, this example is offered in as-seen condition, and prospective buyers should expect to undertake a full restoration. With just five former keepers recorded over its nearly 90-year lifespan, this Standard Nine boasts a low ownership count. While there is no history documented it is still a worthwhile project.

The Model:

The Standard Nine D2, produced in the mid-1930s, was part of the Coventry-based manufacturer’s line-up aimed at providing affordable yet stylish motoring. Known for its modest 9hp side-valve engine and lightweight construction, the D2 offered practicality and charm. Today, survivors are relatively rare, making them a noteworthy addition for enthusiasts of pre-war British vehicles.

Sale Insight:

Offered due to the current owner’s change in circumstances, this Standard Nine D2 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a restoration-worthy pre-war car.
