Last week at the 38th International Motor Show in London's cavernous Earls Court, British automen put in their biggest bid for the booming '"baby" market. 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).
