The 1953 Standard Eight launched with no boot lid at all — you reached the trunk by folding down its split rear seatback, a trick saloon cars wouldn't widely copy for another 30-plus years.
Standard actually built estate-car versions of this little 8hp in 1948 — then never offered a single one for public sale.
Standard's smallest Flying model carried a genuine first: the Flying Eight was the first British 8hp family car with independent front suspension.
