The Standard Flying 8 (known simply as the Standard 8 after World War II) was a significant car for the Standard Motor Company as the name ran from the pre-war years right through to the introduction of the Triumph Mayflower and then the Herald, as the Standard brand name was phased out. Notable in having an aluminium cylinder to its 1,009cc 28 bhp engine, the 8 was pitched squarely against competition from the Morris Eight and Austin 8. The tourer we present here is slightly more sprightly than the saloon as it is a little lighter and this example has excellent coachwork and paint, with a nicely patinated full grey leather interior and good weather equipment. It was restored in 1989 and has obviously been sympathetically enjoyed since. It runs and drives very well and has a good history file available.
