HM Queen and LandRover

Is it true that the Queen only ever drives LandRovers? I know she was a qualified LR mechanic during the war and drives various Defenders, Discos and Range Rovers around the Royal estates and I have never seen her driving anything else.

Wow! Never knew that. As I remember the first Land Rover was made in 1948 and the war had ended in 1945. So there must have been something secret going on - SOE strikes again. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

It wasn't a Majestic, completely different animal, probably a Sovereign. She has had few cars in her time, though lately only seems to drive on her estates in various LR vehicles, I believe a Defender let her down a few years ago my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

She did drive a green vauxhall estate in the 70's. I read that Buckingham palace ordered the vauxhall, vauxhall thought it was Freddy mercury that wanted the car. The car was delivered in a purple colour outside and in! It was quickly changed to a green version! Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.
Gone MY2010 Freelander 2 Manual TD4.e S, Alaska White.

The main difference is that we pay for our LRs.
