Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare early post-war Standard Flying Eight, first registered in January 1946. It has been nicely restored in current ownership, with a black exterior and tobacco leather interior. The car will benefit from some light recommissioning before being used on the road once more.
