Flying Standard Commission Numbers:
This page is
designed to enable you to identify your car model and where possible the year of
manufacture from the car's Commission number.
Pre-war, the cars were named Flying Standard, but after the war
the company reintroduced similar models without the "Flying" prefix. The Post
