A Range Rover once owned and used by the late Queen Elizabeth II has been sold at auction for £175,500, more than double its pre-sale estimate.

The sale of the none-more-regal 2006 Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE took place last weekend at The Wing, at the Silverstone circuit, drawing interest from collectors worldwide.

Believed to be the only Supercharged L322 owned by the Queen, the Range Rover was finished in the traditional royal Tonga Green with an Oxford Sand leather interior, featuring bespoke Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) modifications designed specifically for royal service.

The vehicle includes practical royal touches such as side steps, mud flaps, rear grab handles to assist with entry and exit, a dog guard for the Queen’s corgis, and upgraded internal wiring for security and communication equipment.

The Range Rover also has a custom hood ornament of a Labrador clutching a bird in its mouth.

The SUV was primarily based at Windsor Castle and served the Queen from its delivery in April 2006 until May 2008, with a verified odometer reading of approximately 120,000 miles.

The vehicle is powered by a Jaguar-derived 4.2-litre Supercharged V8 engine and is exceptionally well-preserved, with the original documentation and a comprehensive service history accompanying the sale.

The buyer, reportedly from the Caribbean, secured the car after a fierce bidding battle with a collector from Japan.

Queen Elizabeth II’s association with Land Rover is deeply rooted, spanning more than seven decades.

The late monarch was renowned for personally driving a variety of Land Rover and Range Rover models across royal estates such as Windsor, Balmoral, and Sandringham.

Several of her classic Land Rovers, including early Series I and II models and ceremonial State Review vehicles, have become treasured parts of both royal history and automotive heritage, with some displayed in museums and special exhibitions.
