The "Little Nine" was a small family car produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1931 and 1933.[1] 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.[1] 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.
