STANDARD COMMISSION NUMBERS
These pages are designed to enable you to identify your car model and
where possible the year of manufacture from the car's Commission number.
It is divided into three sections, this page is for cars built before the
second world war, go to Post War Commision Numbers if
that is your interest, or if you have a Standard built plane (!) go to the Aircraft Production page.
STANDARD COMMISSION NUMBERS - PRE WORLD WAR TWO
No accurate records exist pre 1914. It appears that the first car was numbered 1
and all subsequent cars carried the next number.
The latest car before the first world war was still carrying a four digit number.
This number can be found stamped on the centre of the steering wheel.
Commission numbers for all models post first world war, where they are known,
are listed below. Date information is included where that is available.
