The Standard Flying Twelve was one of the pre-war Flying Standard cars of the Standard Motor Company. The Flying Standard range was announced at the 1935 Motor Show with semi-streamlined bodies and came to market in 1936, virtually replacing the existing Nine, Twelve, Sixteen and Twenty. The Flying Nine, Ten, Twelve and Fourteen had four-cylinder engines, while the Flying Sixteen and Twenty had six-cylinder engines. In 1938 the Flying Ten and Flying Twelve were given new chassis with independent front suspension. Grace's Guide lists the Flying Twelve as a 1,608 cc side-valve four-cylinder car built from 1937 to 1940. It was made by the Standard Motor Company at Coventry.
