The Standard Companion was the estate (station wagon) version of the post-war Standard Ten, launched in June 1955. It was among the first small British estate cars to have rear-passenger doors, as the saloon did, unlike rivals such as the Ford Squire and Hillman Husky, which used the two-door van arrangement. It shared its running gear with the Ten, which had been introduced in 1954 as a more powerful, better-appointed version of the Standard Eight with the Eight's Standard SC engine enlarged to 948 cc and sharing a similar frame and transmission, with overdrive available from March 1957 or a temperamental semi-automatic. The Ten family, Companion included, was replaced by the Triumph Herald in 1961.
