A "Standard Sports" is a very different model:
For me an "Ulster", (which we know isn't a factory term) is an EA Sports, that left the works as a complete car with the two seat body we know as the "Ulster" shape.
I can't remember when the fixation with calling them EA Sports came in but in my view they were always called Ulsters by enthusiasts, owners and the press in period and probably until fairly recently. So it's an Ulster in my book.
My car may have been the sister car of Malcolm's, although I do have conflicting photographic evidence that my A7 chassis fitted in a late 80s Vauxhall Astra.
