The Standard Motor Company made quite a lot of sub-standard
stuff - mostly Heralds (sorry Mr. Mace).
I know what you're saying, John, but I don't quite agree with you on the
Heralds. Yes, there were any number of quality control problems in assembly,
and
even some engineering-related issues...from a relatively small company --
with some questionable management issues and some serious financial issues --
trying to rush a very innovative product to the market. To their credit, most
of these issues were dealt with rather quickly, resulting in a car that did
an awful lot of good for "The Standard"!
