Queen Elizabeth’s SUV sold for 4.7 million Turkish lira

Formerly Queen Elizabeth II. The 19-year-old Range Rover, which was part of Elizabeth’s fleet of private vehicles, sold for 1.1 million Turkish lira (£33,000) at an auction in July. This sale did not include the information that the vehicle was in the Royal fleet.

However, the 2004 model luxury SUV, which went up for sale at the Iconic Auctioneers NEC Classic Motor Show held in Birmingham over the weekend, found its new buyer with a bid of 4.7 million TL (£132,750 ). The value of the vehicle increased at a high rate of 302 percent in just four months.

The sale price is believed to be a blow to the former owner, who parted with the Range Rover for just 1.1 million Turkish lira in the summer.

The incredible 302 percent increase in value in just four months is believed to be because the seller did thorough research after purchasing the car and discovering the real connection.

It emerged that the owner of the vehicle increased the value of the vehicle by making video and photographic images of the Queen driving the Range Rover visible to all before the sale.
