The Standard Flying Fourteen is an automobile which was produced by the British Standard Motor Company from 1937 to 1940 and announced in October 1936. The other Flying Standard models had been announced twelve months earlier. A standard is a flag and the reference to flying standards is to flying flags as well as to the advertised abilities of the cars.
