The ultimate series one collectable

[klonk]

Saw the queen on tv the other morning riding in the back of her series one landy. Any one prepaired to make her an offer for it while she's here?

It seems there are a few in OZ. There was one for sale a few years back at one of the All British days in Brisbane.

[101RRS]

There were 2 or three for sale at the same time about 4 years ago - they went for somewhere around $20K.

The one the Queen used most likely came from the National Museum but there are a couple still in official hands.

one royal 86 inch was sold by shannons in melbourne 6 years ago at 22.000 thousand

Just remember that really they are only a land rover body and most of the running gear is car stuff also Imagine the top speed

Gday Tom,
Is it yourself featured in latest LRO?

BACK TO THIS THREAD...
Do we know who would own one of these vehicles now?
Is there someway we can confirm which are genuine?

Gday Tom,

As Tom says one of the 54s in being restored in Adelaide. The two 58s sold off at Shannons fairly recently seemed to have gone to ground since then.

Both 54s and 58s are both genuine Royal vehicles. The 58s were just CKDs made in Oz.

there was one at cooma in 2008

[Killer]

Haddo, I may be incorrect, but I don't think the one at Cooma was one used by the Queen on her visits, I believe all hers were painted in a burgandy colour, I think the one at Cooma was a ceremonial series one used by the top brass in the military.
P.s. Why are you not at School son?

Cheers, Dad.
