King Charles' Land Rover sold for £67,500 at auction

A Land Rover once owned by King Charles has been sold at auction for £67,500. This is more than £17,000 over its estimated price of £50,000. The vehicle, a Defender 90, was bought by a private collector. It was originally provided for King Charles and Queen Camilla while he was the Duke of Cornwall. The car features special modifications, including luxury heated seats made just for him. The vehicle is painted in a regal Keswick Green and has a Charcoal Grey interior. It shows minor wear on the driver’s seat, indicating it was used personally rather than being chauffeur-driven. The Land Rover was delivered to Highgrove House in November 2010 and had only 24,595 miles on it at the time of the auction. The auction took place at the NEC in Birmingham, with the winning bid secured on Saturday. Iconic Auctioneers, which organized the sale, noted that the car was well-cared for by its previous owner and was part of a small royal collection.
