Britain’s Queen Elizabeth had the car specially made for her, with all the amenities such as a special nest for her handbag, and now the Jaguar she used from 2001-2004 is for sale.
The very dark green 2001 Jaguar Daimler Majestic V8 LWB, with 14,000 miles on it, is going for £65,000 at www.hmthequeensdaimler.com, but the highest bidder will take the car. It is in “truly immaculate” condition, according to owner Peter Ratcliffe and is the only car ever specifically built for the queen, he says on the site. “A direct link radio to the Home Office and Downing Street has also been fitted to the trunk compartment though non- functional at this time. Unusually the original registration used by the Queen is still with the car.”

I love that there is a special nest for her handbag; how lovely! I would love to own such a special car but £65,000 is a lot of money!
