Standard's Little Nine represented excellent value for money at £155, providing a competent package of up to 55mph, a three speed 'box with silent second ratio, and in deluxe form including such luxuries as a 'hat cord' and cigar lighter.

'VC 9753' represents a benchmark example of what was normally offered on these chassis: a lightweight six light saloon. Little is known of this car's history, and unfortunately in the case of this example there is no documentary support of its registration number. This aside, the car appears to be largely original, and its condition simply reflects its age. Visually this may appear worse than the reality owing to the glass windows having delaminated and so obscuring the interior from view.

It is nevertheless a good, complete example of the model and a good candidate for sympathetic restoration to return it to the road.
