The Standard Motor Company 2,088 cc straight-4 engine was a petrol engine widely used for their passenger cars of the 1950s, most notably the Standard Vanguard. It was originally developed as an engine for Ferguson tractors. The engine was of conventional design as a water-cooled vertical straight-4 with overhead valves. As such it represented novel practice for an engine designed in the immediate post-war period, incorporating such modern features as thin-wall bearings with replaceable shells. An uncommon, and particularly forward-looking, feature was the use of loose-fitted wet liners. == Origins == The engine's origins began with wartime production of Bristol aero engines at the new Banner Lane shadow factory, operated by Standard in Coventry.〔 From 1939 this factory produced Bristol Hercules engines, an air-cooled radial engine, with Bristol's typical sleeve valves. With peace in 1945, this huge factory then stood empty. During the war, Ford had built tractors for Ferguson in Detroit. Afterwards, Ferguson wished to continue this arrangement with an improved TO20 tractor (for "Tractor Overseas") and also a TE20 (for "Tractor England") to be built by Ford's plant at Dagenham. Ford however were unwilling and it was Standard who were to build the tractors at Banner Lane.〔 The first TE20 model used a Continental Z-120 petrol engine,〔 but the TE-A20 and later models were to use a new engine, to be developed by Standard.〔
