I was just wondering if anyone knows what has become of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's cars now that she is no longer with us? While she used a number of Daimlers over the years I do know that she owned a Phantom V or VI. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

I am not sure what has happened to the Queen mothers 1962 Phantom V Park Ward Landaulette (5CG 37). I think I remember reading the Queens 1954 Phantom IV Hooper Landaulette (4BP5) is in a Scottish museum? Someone please correct me if I am wrong! One of the Queens Canberra Phantom V's (either 5AS33 or 5AT34)has recently returned to the garage onboard the royal yacht Brittania. I just hope they gave it a good dose of fish oil beforehand! The following links will give you a bit more info http://royalyachtbritannia.co.uk/ http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page403.asp | ||

Rule Brittania! Brittania rule the waves. Britons' never never never shall be slaves. Ahem! I did sound like Pavarotti, I promise you.  Anyways, I wager that good old Betty and Phil are right chuffed that the 'Olde Barge' is in good hands. As far as 4BP5, that comes as a bit of a surprise. Her Majesty usually keeps all of her cars unless it is on permanent loan on condition that it be used when required. Who Knows? | ||

It was interesting to note that the Brittania car is on loan from Bentley Motors. Maybe she traded her car and mums on the new royal Bentley. Have we got a deal for you! | ||

Very interested to see & a little bit surprised to see that one of the Phantoms is back onboard "BRITTANIA". Still all the more reason to visit this wonderful ship I guess. I remember seeing her in Port Adelaide in the 1980's & she is not only the most famous ship in the World but also one of the most beautiful. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Just as a point of interest.I thought that I would let every one know that The Queen's 1954 Phantom IV Hooper Landaulette (4BP5) is housed in the museum at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, one of Her Majesty's private Estates. I understand that quite a number of Royal Cars are kept in this musuem. (Message approved by david_gore) |
