Queen Elizabeth’s Range Rover is up for auction

In 1926, the longest reign of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female head of state in history, Her Majesty Elizabeth II, was born. She ruled Britain for 70 years, until she passed away in 2022. During her lifetime, she was loved and respected among the people, and everything related to her and the royal family is considered collectible. Soon, Queen Elizabeth’s 2004 Range Rover will be auctioned.

This vehicle was designed by Special Vehicle Operations for Queen Elizabeth II, and differs from the standard model in several features. It is finished in Epsom Green over Sand Hide. It is equipped with handles and a step which make it easy to get in and out of the car, and the rear doors have two window switches so that the rear seat passenger can control both from one place. The seats are covered with protection and the luggage compartment is adapted for dogs and is separated from the rest of the cabin by the mandatory dog guard.

The Range Rover is powered by a 4.4-liter engine with 282 hp (207 kW), and has just under 180,000 kilometers (109,675 miles) on the odometer.

The auction will take place on 7 November and the guided price is £50,000 – £60,000.

Tuning

Modified Range Rover

Range Rover is difficult to modify with taste. There are several aftermarket packages that can precisely match the style and elegance of the Range Rover body and enhance it in some way. RDB LA and 1016 Industries have done just that by introducing the Silver Surfer.

The car is covered in satin silver aluminum foil that makes it stand out even next to an exotic supercar. It is equipped with a front lip spoiler, extended sills, more pronounced wheel arches and a redesigned front bumper with a diffuser, a new exhaust system, and a roof spoiler. The price depends on whether the components (made by 1016 Industries) are painted ($28,500), made of carbon ($35,000), or forged carbon ($40,000).

RDB LA, based in Los Angeles, equipped the car with new 26-inch retro rims. Although their size may have a negative impact on comfort, the brushed aluminum finish matches the exterior design perfectly.

“I believe our latest package brings this vehicle to perfection,” said founder and CEO of 1016 Industries Peter Northrop.

Range Rover Sport SV Edition One with BMW engine

Land Rover has introduced the BMW-powered Range Rover Sport SV. The British answer to the Cayenne and other SUVs brings a recognizable body design but with slightly different bumpers, larger air vents and a few carbon details.

Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, until now Range Rover used a 5.0L V8 engine with 575 hp (423 kW). The new engine is powerful enough to push the car to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

At Range Rover, they’ve worked hard on the suspension and brakes that need to cope with the performance of the SV, so for the first time potential buyers have also prepared optional carbon-ceramic brakes behind (optional) ultralight 23-inch carbon rims. There is also a limited rear differential lock, but also the best control system ever installed in a Range Rover model. Range Rover points out that the Sport SV is 70 kg lighter than the standard version. It should also be noted that the floor is 25 millimeters closer to the ground.

Inside, the cabin is lined with the highest quality materials. For a better atmosphere, there is also a new 1,430-watt Meridian Signature audio system with 29 speakers and front heated/cooled seats with a massage function.

When it comes to price, the Range Rover Sport SV, which will be offered in the first year as Edition One, will cost around 140,000 euros. Also, the company pointed out that customers will be able to customize their cars with numerous options.
