Description:

On the Surface: The 1939 Standard Flying 10 Saloon, finished in a mature dark blue, is part of a three-car collection for sale in this auction. The Vendor, who has owned the car for almost two years, is selling it due to ill health.

Maintenance: The vendor has maintained the car well during their ownership. The vehicle comes with a comprehensive history file, including old MOTs dating back to 1982, a ‘Standard Motor Club’ exhibit certificate, invoices totaling nearly £2,000, insurance valuations, and old photographs.

The Model: The Standard Ten, a model produced by the British Standard Motor Company from 1906 to 1961, signified the car’s fiscal or tax horsepower. The Flying Ten, introduced in 1937, replaced the earlier model and featured a semi-streamlined look.
