Jaguar Land Rover honours Queen Elizabeth II at Goodwood

Jaguar Land Rover has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the first anniversary of her death by taking a convoy of Royal vehicles for a lap around Goodwood.

The drive featured vehicles used by the Royal Family, either in an official capacity, or privately as part of the household fleet.

This lineup included nine historic Defender and Range Rover models, and included a Series I Defender: The very first State Review Land Rover that accompanied Queen Elizabeth II and The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on a six-month tour of the Commonwealth, as well as a Series IIa Station Wagon which was driven by Queen Elizabeth II.

This car is said to be the first Station Wagon of its kind to be fitted with a six-cylinder engine, and features leather seats, a wooden dog guard, and side steps, to help it fulfil its Royal duties. Also part of the convoy was a Defender 130 'Jumbo', which comes with three doors on each side, designed to support the Royal Family during outings at the Sandringham Estate, where it still serves as a working vehicle.
