The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

During the recent garage clearout I have found this old radiator grill, can anyone identify it for me please?

Thanks

Tony

The Union Jack is a giveaway for a Standard built between 1909 and 1948, but I can't my mind up on which one...I'm going to go for a 12, perhaps?!

Good call: http://www.simoncars.co.uk/standard/flying.html

And a good find with that site, looks as if I was wrong about the 12, it's a 20!

Thanks guys, must have been in the garage for about 50 years.

I'll put in on eBay see if anyone wants it, see a ashame to scrap it.

Reckon that would make a good ornament!

Too good to scrap, it seems very straight. Hopefully someone will need it, but as Raf has intimated, they make excellent wall hangings!

Yes you are both right, hopefully I can find it a new home to someone who can use it, otherwise I'll find a space for it on the garage wall.

I have several car parts hanging on my bedroom walls. Including an Austin 1100 grille and the front nose off a dolly sprint:D
