The Standard Flying Fourteen was a four-door, five-seat saloon built by the Standard Motor Company from 1937 to 1940 and announced in October 1936, twelve months after the first Flying Standard models. A Touring Saloon with extra luggage space followed in March 1937, and a catalogued drophead coupe was also offered beside special coachwork by Avon. Each body sat on a 108-inch wheelbase with a 1,776 cc side-valve four-cylinder engine. The wide rear seat had extra knee-room from recesses in the front seat backs, and fittings included folding tables, swivelling quarter-lights, a telescopic steering column and a flush sliding roof. The name played on the flag meaning of standard.
