Queen Elizabeth's old Bentley is for sale

The Queen's old Bentley car which still directs the driver to Windsor Castle when they tap the 'home' icon on the sat nav is up for auction.

The handsome Bentley Mulsanne, valued at £180,000, was the personal conveyance of Her Majesty and Prince Philip between 2012 and 2014.

During those years the chauffeur-driven motor escorted the Queen to many visits in London including her only ever cabinet meeting at Downing Street in December 2012.

It also made the well-trodden route from Buckingham Palace to Windsor in Berkshire.

Although security devices and Royal crests were removed from the car following the Queen's ownership, the built-in sat nav was never reprogrammed.

Therefore the 'home' option on the system still shows up Windsor Castle.

The bespoke interior boasts burr walnut veneered picnic tables and vanity lights although the flashing blue lights have been removed.

Since 2014, the Bentley has passed through the hands of two collector-owners, the latest of whom has consigned it for auction with Bonhams.

Another car in the sale that is sure to be of interest to Royal collectors is a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith that was used as the personal vehicle of Princess Margaret.

Delivered to the controversial royal in 1980, it was used frequently until her death in 2002 when it carried out its final royal duty in transporting family members to her funeral.

The unique interior incorporates a plush rosewood dashboard and raised backseat to enable the Princess to be seen more readily.

The Royal crests and flashing blue lights were also removed when the vehicle entered civilian ownership.

During its 22 years of duty the Rolls, worth an estimated £90,000, also conveyed Princess Diana, the Queen and Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

With 48,000 miles on the clock, it's been consigned by a private vendor for sale.
