The Standard Fourteen was a mid-size car by the Standard Motor Company in Coventry from 1923 to 1928, built from 1937 to 1939 and 1945 to 1948.

The name first appeared in 1923 and referred to the touring car 14 hp, which had an overhead four-cylinder engine and was manufactured until 1928. The Flying 14 appeared in 1937 and was built until 1939. After the Second World War , this model was manufactured again until 1948.

The two models with overhead four-cylinder engines (ohv), the larger 11.6 and the smaller 11 hp , were joined by the 14 hp as a third model in 1923. The engine of the large touring car had a displacement of 1,944 cm³ (bore × stroke = 75 mm × 110 mm).

In 1928 the production of the 11 hp was stopped again. Two years later, the era of ohv motors at Standard ended again. It was not until 1948 that the side-controlled motors were finally given up.

The Flying Fourteen was added to the Flying 12 as a larger model in 1937 and had the pseudo-streamline of the standard flying line. Its side-controlled inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1,776 cm³ was created by boring the 12-series machine from 69.5 mm to 73 mm. The larger engine delivered 49 hp (36 kW) at 3750 min -1 . The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a synchronized three-speed gearbox. The top speed was 107 km / h.

In 1939 production was stopped due to the war, but resumed in 1945. In addition to the sedan, there was now also a 2-door convertible. In 1948 the Fourteen disappeared from the model range together with its sister model Twelve.
