AI Listing Summary
This is a 1940 Standard Flying Eight, a stylish pre-war saloon with a 1,021cc engine that benefits from favorable road tax status. Having spent many years in museum storage it presents well cosmetically, however, it requires re-commissioning to be road worthy.

The car has been in museum storage for many years and is in cosmetically good order, presenting well. However, it has not been run for many years and will require re-commissioning, suggesting some mechanical work is needed to bring it back to running condition.
