Queen Elizabeth’s Modified 2006 Range Rover Is Heading to Auction
An SUV from the British royal family’s fleet can now be part of your personal collection.
A 2006 Land Rover Range Rover that was owned and driven by Queen Elizabeth II will be sold by Iconic Auctioneers later this month. If that wasn’t intriguing enough, the vehicle includes several bespoke add-ons specific to the late monarch’s tastes.
This Range Rover is from the nameplate’s third generation, better known to Land Rover buffs as the L322. It was delivered new to the royal fleet for the exclusive use of the queen in April 2006 and is finished in the Royal Household colors of Tonga Green paint over Sand Oxford leather. That year marked the launch of the L322’s mid-generation refresh, which saw the luxury SUV outfitted with a revised front fascia with new headlights and a mesh grille, polished tail pipes, and 20-inch wheels.

As stylish as the L322 is, especially one finished in green over tan, it’s the details that push this one over the top. Chief among those is a hood ornament that depicts a Labrador with a pheasant in its mouth. Other exterior modifications, all of which have subtly been worked into the design, include side steps, grab handles to assist with entry and exit, mud flaps, a trunk liner, and a dog guard for the queen’s beloved pets. The wiring has also been upgraded to allow for additional security equipment.
Iconic Auctioneers says the Queen’s Range Rover is believed to have been the only supercharged L322 in the royal fleet. As such, it’s powered by a Jaguar-derived 4.2-liter supercharged V-8 that made 390 hp and 410 ft lbs of torque brand new. The 19-year-old SUV does have 120,000 miles on the odometer, but figures to have been well maintained before it was decommissioned, which happened in 2008, and in the years since. The listing states that it “remains in exceptional condition throughout,” something backed up by the accompanying images.

Queen Elizabeth’s L322 is scheduled to cross the auction block on Saturday, August 23, as part of the collector’s car section of the Iconic Sale at the 2025 Silverstone Festival. The auction house expects the SUV to command a fee between £50,000 and £70,000, or roughly between $66,500 and $93,000.
