The Standard Motor Company grew to be one of the biggest companies
in Coventry and employed some 11,000 people at its height. Based at
its huge factory at Canley, Coventry, it produced cars for sixty
years. The purchase of the Triumph marque in 1945 added a second
brand to the stable and all post-war Triumphs were designed,
developed and built in Standard factories. This book covers the
formative years of the company from 1903 to 1912 and describes the
vintage Standards produced between 1913 and 1930, as well as the
post-vintage and Flying Standards of 1931-1939. The author
discusses the acquisition of Triumph and covers the post-war
Standards and Triumphs produced between 1945 and 1961 as well as
the Leyland takeover and the company demise. This concise
introduction includes descriptions of the cars built by Standard,
and includes a fascinating variety photographs of surviving cars,
period factory photos and brochure material.
