The Standard 15 hp was a six-cylinder car of the Standard Motor Company of Coventry at the turn of the 1930s. Grace's Guide lists it as a side-valve six of 1,930 or 2,054 cc built from 1929 to 1933, and the Standard Motor Club's handbook list names the Exmouth and the Envoy among the 1930 fifteen horsepower six-cylinder cars. Standard of this period named many of its models after towns, and in 1930 the company standardised its bodies so that the nine horsepower four-cylinder car and the fifteen horsepower six-cylinder car were almost indistinguishable except for the length of the bonnet. The 15 hp stood beside the Big Nine as part of the range in which the six-cylinder Ensign and Envoy completed the line-up.
