    One Lady Owner: Queen's Jaguar Up For Sale

    Drivers who fancy travelling in royal style now have a unique chance to become part of the motoring elite.

    A Jaguar Daimler Majestic built specifically for the Queen is for sale.
    The car, made in 2001, has 14,000 miles on the clock and was used by the monarch for three years.
    Special extras include a redesigned armrest to accommodate the Queen's handbag and a hidden panel of security lighting.
    There is also the equipment that allowed a direct radio link to the Home Office and Downing Street, although this no longer works.

    Unusually, the original registration used by the Queen is still with the Jaguar.
    But this slice of royal transportation doesn't come cheap, with the car expected to sell for more than ?65,000.
    "This is a one-off chance to buy car that was made especially for the Queen," said seller Peter Ratcliffe.
    "Nothing in the car has been changed from when it was owned by Her Majesty. It is totally unique.
    "I expect this will be bought by a Jaguar enthusiast. I hope that the miles are kept down and it isn't used on a daily basis but it's really up to the person that buys it," he added.


    The Queen used the car from 2001-2004
