It was advertised as in 'gleaming condition'
A Land Rover designed especially for the late Prince Philip has sold for a record price after Silverstone Auctions put it under the hammer last weekend. The Defender had a guide price of between £50,000-£70,000, but eventually went for almost double that price at auction.
The car was sold under Silverstone Auctions, who have exclusive rights to sell at the Northamptonshire circuit and hold vintage auctions at Silverstone Classic. Also included was a collection of letters between the Prince's head chauffer and the director of royal and diplomatic affairs at Jaguar Land Rover.
The personalised vehicle also has heated seats and Land Rover seat covers. It was advertised as in "gleaming condition", with only 15,623 miles on the clock and part of a "significant private collection of special motors vehicles", reported The Sun. But at Silverstone Auctions Race Retro Classic at Stoneleigh Park in Coventry - it hauled in a whopping £123,750. The seller bagged a 181 per cent return on their investment.
