Queen Elizabeth II’s £10 Million Car Collection: A Look Inside

Queen Elizabeth II is known for her love of cars, and her collection is estimated to be worth around £10 million.

The Queen learned to drive during World War II when she operated a first aid truck for the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service.

Now, she has a garage full of some of the most luxurious cars in the world.

According to online car dealer Car Keys, the Queen's state fleet consists of three Rolls Royces, three Daimlers, and two Bentleys, along with a number of Volkswagen support cars.

These official state cars have been built to unique and exclusive specifications, and are kept in the Royal Muse at Buckingham Palace.

Her Majesty's twin Bentleys are built specifically for her, each nearly a meter longer than standard at 6.22 meters.

The rear doors are hinged at the back to allow the Queen to stand up straight before stepping out.

Both are also fitted with a unique removable roof covering, which exposes a clear inner lining so onlookers can have an all-around view of the monarch.

The rear seats are made with Lambswool sateen cloth, while the rest of the interior is made of a light grey leather hide.

The Queen's custom 2015 Range Rover LWB Landaulette has backwards opening doors and an open air top so that she can wave to the crowds.

It is the fourth vehicle that Land Rover has provided for state processions, which started with the Land Rover Series 1 back in 1953.

Along with custom modifications for Her Majesty, the maroon Range Rover has the royal flag mounted on its bonnet.

The Queen's favourite car has always been the Land Rover Defender, according to Car Keys.

She has owned roughly 30 in her lifetime.

In 2002, Land Rover built her a custom Defender and sold it to Sandringham.

It was upholstered with custom green leather, and decked out with heated seats, electric windows, and a slightly raised suspension to make it easier for the monarch to drive across her estate.

The Jaguar Daimler V8 Super LWB served as the personal car of the Queen for three years following its delivery to Buckingham Palace in 2001.

She drove the car around her estate at Windsor Castle or to visit friends and dignitaries.

Its unique modifications for Her Majesty included an armrest with a sliding holder designed to hold her specific type of handbag, as well as unique switches to allow her to funnel air to the sides.

It also has cigarette lighters featuring a secret button that activates hidden neon lights to allow Secret Service to identify her, and also to offer extra visibility in the event of a smoke attack.

If her custom Bentleys weren't enough, Her Majesty will also become the very first customer for the new Bentley Bentayga.

The car launched in 2015, and she was promised the first model by Bentley, the fastest and most powerful SUV in the world.

It's also the most expensive, with prices starting at £160,200 for the basic model.

However, according to Bentley, the Queen's car will be far from standard, and is likely to come with many of the mod cons seen in the vehicles above.

Although she doesn't technically own or drive the car, the Queen bought the Aston Martin Volante DB6 for Prince Charles on his 21st birthday.

He converted the car in 2008 to run on special bioethanol fuel made from wine, as part of his ongoing effort to reduce emissions from the royal household by 25% within 10 years.

Kept at Higgerth, the car uses about four and a half bottles of wine for every mile it travels.

The Queen's love for cars is evident in her collection, which is not only luxurious but also unique.

From custom Bentleys to vintage Rolls Royces, Jaguars, and Land Rovers, Her Majesty's garage is a sight to behold.

While she may not be driving these cars herself, they are an important part of her public image and the history of the British monarchy.
