A Range Rover used by Queen Elizabeth II during her record-breaking reign could sell for a stunning £70,000 at auction. The former monarch’s personal 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged vehicle is tipped to hit the hammer for anywhere between £50,000 and £70,000. 

The car is one of the star attractions at this weekend’s Collectors’ Car Sale from Iconic Auctioneers, taking place during the Silverstone Festival. Her Majesty used the vehicle between 2006 and 2008 and has even been photographed standing next to the model to certify its authenticity. The Range Rover has undergone a range of special modifications which were commissioned by the Royal Household. 

Updates include the fitting of internal wiring for enhanced security and communications as well as the installation of rear grab handles to aid entry and exit. The Range Rover is still fitted with the silver labrador mascot that was only fitted to the Queen’s personal vehicles.

Rob Hubbard, managing director and principal auctioneer of 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."

In comparison, almost identical second-hand Range Rover models from around the same period are priced at under £10,000 on AutoTrader. According to Iconic Auctioneers, this particular model is believed to be the only L322 Range Rover ever owned by the Royal Household that was fitted with a Jaguar-derived 4.2-litre Supercharged V8.

The Range Rover is finished in Tonga Green, the traditional shade used by the Royal Household. The vehicle has covered just under 120,000 miles, but experts claim the model still remains in exemplary condition. 

The Queen’s former car is set to be sold with an extensive history file including extras such as the original blue leather wallet, handbooks, and detailed service records.

Iconic Auctioneers added: “Interested parties are warmly encouraged to come and view the vehicle in person at the Festival prior to bidding, and to register to bid in advance to secure the chance to own this exceptional Royal vehicle.”

Motorists wishing to be there when the car goes to auction can follow all of the proceedings at the Silverstone Festival.
