Overview

  • The 2006 Tonga Green model served as the Queen’s personal transport from 2006 to 2008 and appeared at events such as the 2007 Royal Windsor Horse Show.
  • It is believed to be the sole L322 Range Rover in the Royal fleet fitted with the Jaguar-derived 4.2-litre Supercharged V8 engine, enhancing its collectible appeal.
  • Bespoke royal fittings include advanced internal wiring for security and communications, side steps, mud flaps, a bespoke dog guard and a silver labrador bonnet mascot.
  • Iconic Auctioneers has formally listed the vehicle for auction at the Silverstone Festival, marking one of the few chances to own a piece of modern royal motoring history.
  • Despite reports of outstanding condition throughout, online experts warn that 120,000 miles on a Range Rover of this era could lead to costly maintenance bills.
