Her Highness Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom. She passed away in 2022 at the age of 96. Everything related to her and the royal family is considered collectible. She has owned several cars and one of them, a 2001 Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is for sale.
At the end of 2023, a 2004 Range Rover from the collection of Queen Elizabeth II was sold at auction, and now the Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is looking for a new owner. The car was used as the Queen’s personal transport between 2001 and 2006. It is finished in British Racing Green and is in excellent condition, which is no surprise since it was kept in a temperature-controlled garage as part of their impressive private collection. It should be noted that there is part of the red pinstriping missing and that there is a small dent on the front passenger door and rear wing.
The luxurious interior is decorated with catkin beige leather with the green stitching combined with green carpet, wooden fold down picnic tables on the backs of the front seats, lambs wool mats, and a Jaguar/Motorola car phone in the arm rest. In the place where the ashtray would have been, there are now a James Bondesque bank of control buttons for the flashing blue strobe lights, alternating flashing headlights and special blue identification lights below the rear view mirror. British Racing Green leather also covers the dashboard, and there is a silver plaque stating that the car was specially built for HH Queen Elizabeth II.
This Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB is powered by a 4.0-L V8 engine with 280 bhp, paired with a 5-speed automatic gearbox. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in around 7 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The odometer shows 26,000 kilometers.
The auction ends on April 29 and the highest bid at the time of writing was £40,250 GBP.
