it was used as Her Majesty’s personal car and in local and low-profile engagements. Some 12,000 miles were accrued during that time, before it was replaced in 1990 by another vehicle. It continued to be used by family members and the Royal Security before being returned and kept at the factory with some 29,000 miles recorded with numerous members of the royal family and other dignitaries as passengers.
Equipped with every available option when new, bespoke items include a blue convoy light fitted in front of the rear-view mirror to enable security teams to identify the car more easily at night and to be more visible in the event of a security threat to the Queen. A full-length rear seat cushion was installed in lieu of the standard twin cushion—for the comfort of HRH’s three pet corgis to ride more securely and comfortably.
