Queen Elizabeth II’s Favourite Range Rover Sold at Auction for Record Amount

A Range Rover once owned by Queen Elizabeth II has sold at auction for far more than expected — reflecting both its royal pedigree and rare specifications. Here’s what made this vehicle so valuable.

A Royal Ride Fetches £175,500

The 2006–2008 Range Rover owned by the late Queen sold for £175,500 — more than double its pre-auction estimate — at the Silverstone Festival.

Used at Windsor by the Queen Herself

Delivered in April 2006, the SUV served mainly at Windsor Castle and was seen with the Queen during several public events, including the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

A Rare Supercharged Royal SUV

This L322-generation Range Rover featured a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 — believed to be the only one of its kind ever owned by the Royal Family.

Custom Touches for Her Majesty

The SUV came fitted with side steps, dog guards for the Queen’s corgis, and a silver Labrador mascot — a personal touch reserved for her private vehicles.

Signature Royal Colours

Finished in Tonga Green over Sand Oxford leather, the vehicle reflected the Royal Family’s preferred colour combination.

Upgraded for Royal Security

Some of the vehicle’s internal wiring was specially modified to meet the Queen’s enhanced security needs during its service.

Still in Remarkable Condition

With under 120,000 miles on the clock, the vehicle had been well maintained and came with original leather wallet, manuals, and a full service history.

An Auction Star with Historic Value

The sale marked a rare moment for collectors, as vehicles with such direct royal provenance rarely enter the open market.
