The "Little Nine" was a small family car produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1931 and 1933. It was the smallest in the range of cars offered by the company in the early-1930s, appearing some two years after the demise, in 1929, of the 9.9hp Standard Teignmouth.
The 1,005 cc side-valve engine was replaced three years after launch, in 1934, when the bore was extended, the slightly larger unit now displacing 1,052cc. Claimed maximum power was 22 bhp. and was delivered to the rear wheels via a three speed gearbox.
In 1936 production came to an end and the car was replaced by the more streamlined Flying Nine model.
