Driving the Queen’s Land Rovers in Windsor

Royals and Land Rovers go hand-in-hand. When you see images of the royal family on their Balmoral or Sandringham estates, chances are they're driving, or being driven in, a Land Rover or Range Rover product.

The Queen herself is famously a Land Rover driver and has been pictured in her sturdy machines for decades. Her own personal transport, the iconic green Land Rover, stayed with her long after other, more luxurious, models had been replaced.

Given the longstanding links between the royals and their Land Rovers, MSN Cars jumped at the chance to get behind the wheel of some famous models connected to the Queen in the run up to her diamond jubilee.

We drove the historic cars around the picturesque grounds of Windsor Park, an opportunity rarely afforded to anyone outside royalty or Land Rover's senior executives.
