The pale blue 1959 Standard Ten was set to be crushed under a scrappage scheme operated by Ford, which received the saloon as a part-exchange towards a Transit van.

However, the car was saved thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts at the Standard Motor Club and a classic car magazine.

As part of the agreement undertaken with Ford to save the car, it cannot be driven on the roads.

Instead, Dundee Museum of Transport has the honour of hosting the first public exhibition of the Standard within its halls.

Peter Lockley, chairman of the Standard Motor Club, said he was delighted that the car was going on show.

He added: “I believe it’s been a Scottish car all its life, since it rolled out of the factory down in Coventry.

“We’re very pleased to see it going on display. They were very popular and even now are very reliable, economical little cars.”

Between 1954 and 1960, t he Standard Ten was considered a viable alternative to cars such as the Morris Minor, but very few examples remain in existence today.

Scrappage schemes have been popularised as a way of getting older, more polluting cars off the roads to improve air quality.

Manufacturers offer discounts worth thousands of pounds on new models in exchange for cars which don’t meet new emissions standards.

Peter said vintage models should be given special consideration when they are handed into scrappage schemes in
