Classic Car News: If It's Good Enough For The Queen, It's Good Enough For Us

If you've always wanted to travel like royalty then now is your chance – the Queen's customised Jaguar Daimler Majestic is now up for sale. News.sky.com has reported that "drivers who fancy travelling in royal style now have a unique chance".

According to the Daily Mail website, keeping its regal touch by displaying the same number plate as when it was used by the Queen between 2001 and 2004, the Jaguar Daimler is being sold by specialist memorabilia dealer Peter Ratcliffe.  Peter has said "this is a one-off chance to buy a car that was made especially for the Queen of England".

The Jaguar was mainly used by the Queen for driving around the grounds of the Windsor estate, so it's no surprise that the Daimler has only clocked 14,000 miles. The Geae Times website has reported that "nothing in the car has been changed from when it was owned by Her Majesty", which is another unique selling point as well as the low mileage - a Jaguar enthusiast would love to get their hands on such a majestic machine.

Painted a shade of British racing green, the Daimler Majestic V8 has undergone numerous modifications to suit the previous owner. If it's good enough for the queen I'm sure it will be good enough for the lucky person who can afford such historic beauty. As expected, this royal transporter comes with a hefty price tag of £65,000, which makes it a rather expensive second-hand vehicle – but considering the previous owner it's no surprise really.

The Daimler could be perfect for a lady looking for a classy car with a compartment specifically dedicated to holding a handbag. One of the customised features of the Jaguar was an in-built section of the armrest designed to keep the Queens handbag in place while driving – this may come in handy for women who take about 10 minutes looking for their keys while trying not to drop their handbag.

Another additional characteristic of the Daimler which relates to the previous owner is the telephone link to 10 Downing Street. Unfortunately this is not part of the deal and the line has been deactivated – it could have been a pretty handy addition though if you got caught speeding.

car choice?

i am going into my first year of college in the fall i am 16 years old and i need a car. i have 12k saved up from work and the sale and resale of some classic cars i bought cheap and ripped some people off with. but anyway. i want something that i will be proud to drive but i dont know if i want a sporty car which i would really like like a wrx or s2k. or if i should just go for a cheap gas saver like a carolla or somthing. by the way i dont have the best luck with the ladies.

I don't think a car can really fix your problem(s) with girls. Or it might. Might attract the materialistic girls, though. But, I say go with a Acura, Toyota, or something like that . They're really nice, stylish and affordable cars. Also, it's okay to buy a used car. I just say browse your local Used Cars dealership. I hope you find something you like, Scottie! Bye.
