The Standard Flying Twelve was a true icon of its time, showcasing elegance and power on the roads. In 1938, it made its mark at the Standard Car Owners Club Southern Counties Trial, leaving spectators in awe of its performance. The event was a testament to the car's capabilities, as it effortlessly conquered every challenge thrown its way. Another memorable occasion for the Standard Flying Twelve was the Gymkhana held on May 8th, 1938. This gathering brought together enthusiasts who marveled at not just one, but two of these magnificent vehicles. Their sleek design and impeccable craftsmanship were truly a sight to behold. Renowned artist Bill Brunell captured this momentous event with his skilled brushstrokes, immortalizing the Standard Flying Twelve in all its glory. His artwork showcased the car's beauty and highlighted its presence among other classics. At that same Gymkhana, another stunning display awaited attendees - two Standard Flying Twelves accompanied by a Flying Nine. These three vehicles stood side by side like royalty amongst their peers, exuding an air of sophistication and prestige. It wasn't just about appearances though; these cars proved their worth on numerous occasions. At the MCC Torquay Rally in July 1937, they demonstrated their prowess once again. SS Stanleys Jaguar SS led RS Mantles' Standard Flying Twelve through challenging terrains with finesse and determination. Speaking of awards at that rally, WJ Haward's bronze-winning Standard Flying Twelve deservedly garnered attention for its exceptional performance. RS Mantle also claimed victory with his silver award-winning model - both drivers proving that these cars were more than just showpieces; they were built for success. Dating back to around 1936 is an image capturing a timeless moment - a Flying Standard 12 Saloon cruising down picturesque streets. Its classic charm transcends time as it glides gracefully along roads filled with nostalgia.
