A Range Rover once owned by Queen Elizabeth II is going under the hammer.
The 4X4, which Her Majesty reportedly drove herself, is expected to fetch up to £60,000 in the sale. Iconic Auctioneers say the third-generation L322 Range Rover was customised to royal specifications. It was first registered in 2004 and the late monarch was pictured getting out of the vehicle at the Royal Windsor Horse Show that year.
Finished in Epsom Green, it was fitted with a modified front grille with covert lights, front and rear seat covers, the mandatory dog guard, load space mat, side steps and mud flaps. The vehicle has covered 109,675 miles from new and comes with a full service history, including trips to specialist mechanics in Mayfair and Windsor.

Remaining in excellent condition throughout and with confirmed Royal ownership, this is one Range Rover that will stand out from the crowd.
“There will doubtless be any number of Royal fans bidding for this gracious piece of Royal automotive history.” The auctioneers have set a guide price of £50,000 to £60,000 for the sale, which will take place at Birmingham NEC on November 11.
