The company was founded on 2 nd March 1903 by R. W. Maudslay. He
was a civil engineer by profession but realised the enormous
potential of the horseless carriage and became a motor
manufacturer. establishing a small factory in Coventry. He employed
seven people to assemble the first car powered by a single-cylinder
engine with three-speed gearbox and shaft drive to the rear wheels.
By the end of 1903 three cars had been built and the labour force
had been increased to twenty five. The increased labour force
produced a car every three weeks during 1904. In 1914 Standard
became a public company.
Thought to be one of only three examples remaining today. this
Standard twelve is fitted with a 1608 cc engine which has recently
been rebuilt. The chassis has also been restored and tyres recently
replaced. It is in need of a reasonable amount of work although
appears to be complete including the original tool kit. Bearing its
original registration number of BLM 723. this Standard Twelve
offers the opportunity to own a piece of British motoring heritage.
Supplied with a V 5 registration document and some history.
