The Standard P503 was a three-wheeler light freight truck, produced from 1935 to 1939 by Wilhelm Gutbrods Standard Werkzeugfabrik, (Standard tooling company) Germany.
The reason to offer the same model P203 with the downsized 200 cc engine was to meet the legal permit of license free drivers and the vehicles exception from tax that time.[2] [3] Competitors also offered 200 cc engine version of their vehicles.
The four wheel variant was the "Standard P504", also a 200 cc engined version was marketed as "Standard P204".
Unique under the competitors the four variants of "Eillieferwagen" (express delivery vehicle) had the rear under floor or flatbed placed two stroke engine, 200 cc as single cylinder or a 500 cc two cylinder boxer-engine.[4]
Vehicle variations with the 500 cc allowed for a payload of 0,75 metric tons, and variations with the 200 cc engine 0,5 metric tons.[5]
After World War II, only competitors continued their three-wheeler production, while the four-wheeler successors "Heck 504" and "Heck 604" where in production from later 1946 till 1949 and early 1950 and superseded by the Gutbrod Atlas.
Prices were from RM 1395 for the small engine flatbed to RM 2045 for the ambulance panel van with big engine.[6]
