The Standard Motor Company was founded on 2nd 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.

Stored for a number of years albeit correctly having been
greased and oiled in all the right places. this Flying 12 has
recently been re-commissioned. The car is as original as one could
expect from a 1936 vehicle and has covered only 58. 00 miles in its
78 years on the road. The underside of AAP 303 is in excellent
order and the bodywork shows no sign of corrosion. The chromework
is also in very good condition having been greased prior to storage
and it is fitted with a metal sunroof that functions correctly.
Mechanically she is in very good condition with a four speed
gearbox and is a delight to drive. This must surely be the best
original Standard Flying 12 available anywhere today.
