Elizabeth II’s modified Range Rover for sale

Elizabeth II used the vehicle from 2006 until 2008

The car, which the former monarch used from 2006 until 2008, features her distinctive hood ornament of a labrador with a grouse in its mouth.

The vehicle boasts a host of bespoke features that mark its former duties, including the side steps, mud flaps, a made-to-measure dog guard for Elizabeth II’s beloved canine companions and enhanced internal wiring for security and communications.

Rear grab handles, to assist with the late monarch’s entry and exit of the vehicle, have since been removed.

The Range Rover Supercharged, which was also used by Elizabeth II at the 2007 Royal Windsor Horse Show, is equipped with the Jaguar-derived 4.2-litre Supercharged V8.

It is believed to be the only one ever owned by the Royal household, according to the Iconic Auctioneers auction house.

The car has covered 120,000 miles and is backed by a documented service history. Its exterior is finished in Tonga Green, in line with the late Queen’s favoured greens for her vehicles. It has Sand Oxford leather upholstery with extended Burr Walnut trim.

Rob Hubbard, the managing director and principal auctioneer at Iconic Auctioneers, said: “Vehicles with such distinguished provenance rarely enter the market, making this an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s personal Range Rover combines automotive excellence with an unmatched historical significance. We anticipate considerable interest in this vehicle, as has been the case with other Royal vehicles we have offered.”

Iconic Auctioneers has estimated the vehicle to achieve between £50,000 and £70,000 when it is offered at the Silverstone Festival on Aug 23. Previously, the same auction house sold another one of the late Queen’s Range Rovers for £132,750.

The vehicle was only linked to the Royal household after an eagle-eyed car collector guessed who its previous owner may have been when he unearthed footage of Elizabeth II driving the vehicle at the 2005 Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Many of the factory-ordered modifications were in line with the rest of her fleet, as seen in this newest sale.

Charles Smalley, a car specialist at Iconic Auctioneers, previously explained that the vehicle it sold featured rear handles to “help her get in and out of the vehicle, because apparently she hated anyone trying to give her a lift”.

He added: “And the dog guard in the back, so if the corgis were in the back, that’s still there. It was an extra, but the Queen would have had them in hers for carrying the dogs.”
