The Flying 12 was introduced at the Motor Show in October 1935 with a 1609cc (12hp) four-cylinder side-valve engine producing 44bhp and driving through a 4-speed box. The car was sophisticated, quiet and well-mannered but it soon became clear that the performance was lacklustre thanks to a heavy body on a weighty chassis. Within a year the factory had designed a much lighter chassis for what is today known as the Light 12, but it was to take rather longer to develop a suitably lightweight body that would offer the space and the comforts that Standard desired.

Manufactured in 1939, this Flying 12 was first registered in the UK on the 24^th of March 1939. Fitted with the 1609cc four-cylinder side-value engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in the complementary colour scheme of Black with Green interior trim. The Standard has a recorded mileage of 86,682 (atoc) miles and has been in current family ownership since 2017. Having a cameo appearance in the 2002 film ‘A is for Acid’, ‘FKH 824’ is now offered from a deceased estate and may require some recommissioning following a short period of storage although is said to ‘run well’. The Flying 12 was in previous long-term ownership and is accompanied by a history file that comprises previous logbooks, collection of past MOTs and tax discs and V5C document.
