NOT a hire car either .......... it has his private plate on it.

I'll have to talk to my guy in Special Vehicles ............. to see what the lead time is on a 'true' replacement.

Who thought up the cartoon diagram? It does not tally with reports he came out of a private driveway, which is on the opposite side of the road from the 'B' road mentioned. That would put the sun in the wrong place for blinding. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

England 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Firenze Red

Prince Philip Gets New Land Rover

From the Metro Article (Linky above)...

Metro wrote:
A replacement Land Rover was delivered to the Duke of Edinburgh, 97, less than 24 hour after the collision close to the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. The fresh vehicle, an exact replica to the one that was wrecked in the crash, suggests Philip will be back in the driving seat any day now.


Presumably the reporter means an exact replica 'of' rather than 'to' but where is this shiny new FL2 coming from? I can't imagine there is a stock of them just sitting around in storage waiting for the DoE to prang his car.

Shiny new DS Sport HSE Lux perhaps?

It was reported elsewhere that it was a Freelander that was used/kept at Balmoral. Even so that was a quick turnaround to get it to Sandringham especially as Philip isn`t going to be in a hurry to get behind the wheel again I would think!

So not a 'New Land Rover' as the Metro headline proclaims... he'll just be using his other car for a while Rolling Eyes

I know this road quite well and is typical in respect of most of the roads in, Norfolk. The roads are unmaintained and junctions are dangerous. The highways department, are a bunch of unaccountable people who have never driven more than a tractor. It seems the only thing they can focus on is speed. In our local black spot for accidents, they will not cut down 3 tree's to improve viability. But they waisted thousands of pounds on a slow down sign that never worked because it was solar powered and was in the middle of a forest. Then they waisted more money taking it away.
