A custom made electric vehicle based on a 1937, Standard Flying 9, on display at the 2023 British Motor Show


The Flying Nine was a small family car produced by the British Standard Motor Company between July 1936 and 1940.[1] It was the smallest of several relatively streamlined cars with which the company, in common with several UK mass market competitors, broadened and updated its range in the later 1930s. The Flying Standard series began with the Flying Twelve, Sixteen, and Twenty in October 1935, with smaller versions ranging down to 8HP added in the following years.
