A LAND Rover Discovery that was used to chauffeur the former Prince of Wales is heading to auction online.
The Discovery 3 is accompanied by a letter from Jaguar Land Rover royal and diplomatic affairs director George Hassall to Tim Williams, who was head chauffeur to the prince and the then Duchess of Cornwall.
Dated January 18, 2007, it confirms that the Land Rover was delivered to The Royal Garage at Highgrove – their private residence near Tetbury in Gloucestershire – on January 12, 2007.
As a vehicle for royalty, the Discovery is kitted out with a variety of high-end touches such as heated seats and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Auction site Collecting Cars – which is handling the sale – says the Land Rover would continue to ‘make a highly capable daily driver for any enthusiast of the marque’.
No guide price was given but bidding will finish tomorrow, on Thursday, March 23.
