The motor is among the hundreds of council vehicles that have fallen foul of the new Low Emission Zone rules that come into force today.
Ironically a Rolls-Royce Ghost gifted to the city by Sir Boyd Tunnock and sold at auction for £105,000 would have been compliant as it is powered by a petrol V12 6.6 litre engine, and not launched until 2009.Thomas Kerr, the leader of the Scottish Conservative group on the city council, said: "The Lord Provost's car doesn't meet the new low emission standards so they will have to get rid of it. I've spoken to several councillors whose cars don't meet the rules as well.
Despite last minute legal challenge and a huge backlash - led by taxi drivers and also including charities who will not be able to use their vehicles in town - fines will be levied in the zone from June 1. A city council spokeswoman said: "The vehicle previously used by the Lord Provost is not compliant with LEZ standards and will now be sold on. A suitable vehicle will be made available to support the Lord Provost in the course of her civic duties."
