The Standard Big Twelve was the larger companion of the Big Nine in the Standard Motor Company range of the early 1930s. The company history records that the Big Nine, introduced in 1930, was soon followed by the Big Twelve, and that sales in the second half of 1931 exceeded those of the whole of the previous year, so the model belongs to the firm's recovery after the first years of the Depression. Grace's Guide lists the Big Twelve as a 1,497 cc side-valve six-cylinder car built in 1932 and 1933. It was a British car made at Coventry. The later Flying Standards of 1936 virtually replaced the existing Nine, Twelve, Sixteen and Twenty.
