Not everybody's cup of tea but not many chances to buy a car which was specced and driven by our late Queen or even one with a bespoke handbag holding tray!

The Daimler was tailored to the bespoke specification of Queen Elizabeth II. It passed muster at Jaguar Land Rover on the 14th of March 2001 but not road registered for a further 3 months. This delay was because the car needed testing over a 2,500-mile period to ensure any sub-optimal creases were identified and ironed out to ensure the car ‘never failed to proceed’.

A Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms that the horseless carriage was used by the Her Majesty as well as a royal relief vehicle, explaining the long wheelbase chassis selection. The Daimler also had a few further unique accoutrements, such as the security and convoy lights and, of course, the famous handbag holding tray built into the armrest between the two front seats.

Surely a JLR product and "never failed to proceed" do not compute into the same sentance.

Sorry but looks like mutton dressed as lamb. I’d have preferred a complete reimagine rather than just taking bits from a Demon Tweeks catalogue and sticking them on.

Why. When anybody that interested in an XJS can already buy the original Lister Le Mans XJS with the 7 litre v12 NA with 500bhp and 500lb torque with a 5 speed manual gearbox? Or they did a twin supercharger version producing 604bhp and a 6 speed manual gearbox?
