On display, along with such sporty models as the low-slung Singer SMX, went the new Standard Eight ($956) and a larger, more powerful version of the Ford Anglia ($1,008). Feature of the show: the two cheapest production cars in the world. One was the Austin A30, a two-door, four-cylinder, 30-h.p, model costing $938. The other...
