Photographs of classic Standards, Flying 8s and other old motors.
- Flying 8 from Standard.
- Built in: 1940s.
- Colour(s): Black.
The Standard photograph above wasn't taken by me, but by G. King, and is shown on oldclassiccar with his permission. His photos were taken at various locations a few years ago, including photos of classic Standards such as the Flying 8 shown above. From what I can tell, some of the cars and vans featured were seen at shows (eg at the NEC and Alexandra Palace in London), whereas others were spotted out and about in daily use, or parked up at the side of the road. If you own the Standard shown here, or know the story of this particular Flying 8, by all means get in touch. I'd be interested in showing similar photos of other Flying 8s too, so if you can help please drop me a line.
More of the photos in this particular collection can be seen on the general Classic Car Photographs page. Other picture collections, featuring similar Standards, are available to view in the main car photos section.
