The Flying Eight was the smallest member of the Standard Flying family. It was launched by the Standard Motor Co Ltd late September 1938, prior to the 1938 Motor Show at Earls Court in October of that year. Apart from the power unit, it was a brand new design and marked Standard's first entry into the smallest 8 hp market.
The frame was all new, with box section longitudinals, and independent front suspension (ifs) by a transverse leaf spring. It was the first British 8 hp family car to feature ifs.
This car is somewhat of a restomod with an A series morris engine and gearbox fitted which has given it extra power with the additional refinement of a 4 speed gearbox. A modern type electric fuel pump is fitted running off a 12 volt system whilst the car retains much of its original 6v electrics.
