If this is a prewar car, it was sold as the Standard Flying Eight, but on its re-introduction after WW2, the “Flying” was dropped from the name. The prewar cars had louvres in the bonnet sides, the postwar ones didn’t. Unfortunately the bonnet is not visible in this view. -- Last edit: 2025-03-11 16:05:33
