SUMMARY
Land Rover Defender 90 supplied new in 2010 for the sole use of King Charles III, then The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, our current King and Queen.
DESCRIPTION
- Delivered new to the Royal Garage at Highgrove House on 15/11/2010 and pleasingly, the confirmation letter addressed to Tim Williams, Head Chauffeur to HRH The Prince of Wales & TRH The Duchess of Cornwall is retained within the history file
- Finished in Keswick Green with a Charcoal Grey interior which interestingly only shows minor wear to the driver’s seat, indicating that this was not a chauffeur-driven Defender
- Supplied by JLR Special Vehicles for the sole use of The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall (at the time)
- Has more recently formed part of a small but dedicated Royal Collection, dutifully cared for by its fastidious owner
- By their nature, a Defender rarely has any form of creature comforts but, as one might expect, this superb example does have the luxury of heated seats and heated front and rear screens
- Accompanied by a small amount of interesting paperwork such as a Land Rover Motoring Users Guide, a Land Rover Assistance Membership Card and a period Certificate of Motor Insurance
- Complete with the original book pack and service book that details the first service completed by M.J. Fews, Land Rover, Wooton-under-Edge, Highgrove’s local Land Rover Specialist
- With a current indicated mileage of just 24,595, this Defender has clearly been cherished throughout its life which reflects in its current condition
- Please note that the registration number shown, 72 HRH, is to be retained by the present keeper and does not form part of the sale, but could be available by separate negotiation
- More importantly it should be noted that the 'original' registration number 'OV 60 GKA' has been reassigned to the vehicle
