All the rookies are promoted experts so fast now, there's almost no more left to solve those puzzles. So, let's promote those too.

This car looks like it suffers from middle-age spread.

Wait till I become a feature writer so I can post wisecracks too in otherwise forbidden sections!

Standard Pennant, 1957-1959.

Indeed. I had it as a 1960 car, and made in India (and obviously photographed there). I'm not to good at british cars: were they made in U.K., India, or both?

Quite likely: they were an interim model between the Standard 10 and the Triumph Herald, and as I know the latter went to India after it finished in England, I suppose the Pennant did too.
However, Georgano lists Standard of Madras from 1961 and only mentions the (4-door) Herald that they produced.
