A unique L322 Range Rover with impeccable royal origin—believed to be the sole supercharged example commissioned for and owned by the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty was seen both arriving and departing in this vehicle at the 2007 Royal Windsor Horse Show, verifying its pedigree as both genuine and distinguished. Up for auction by Iconic Auctioneers.
Luxury and Supreme Comfort
Since its debut in 2002, the L322 Range Rover has cultivated a devoted following across the motoring world. Effortlessly at home in any environment, it strikes a rare balance of understated yet imposing presence, paired with luxury and supreme comfort.
A-list Celebrities
Over time, certain specifications have emerged as especially desirable, aging with remarkable grace—none more so than the timeless ‘green over tan’ combination, long favored by A-list celebrities, automotive tastemakers such as Jeremy Clarkson and Harry Metcalfe, and of course, the Royal Household itself.
Rare Quality
The 2006 model retained tactile switchgear and analog luxury, avoiding the full digital interface that would come later—an increasingly rare quality collectors value today.
Understated Elegance
A luxurious full-size SUV, discreet ‘Supercharged’ badging, and standard 20-inch alloy wheels marked it out as the top model without disturbing the Range Rover’s understated elegance.
Royal Corgi Carrier
In addition to the comprehensive Vogue SE specification, this vehicle was further refined by Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division. Commissioned with custom-made details reserved for Royal use, it features specialized wiring modifications for enhanced security, side steps for dignified entry, discreet mud flaps, a load-space mat, and a custom dog guard tailored to accommodate Her Majesty’s cherished corgis.
Supercharged
Powered by a Jaguar-derived 4.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 400 hp—the most powerful Range Rover engine of its era—delivering both surprising performance and the refinement expected of Britain’s premier luxury 4×4. A fitting choice for a monarch with a passion for driving.
Engineering Refinement
Updates for 2006 included the new ZF 6-speed automatic transmission, improved air suspension, and newer ‘infotainment’ system, all of which elevated both reliability and ride comfort. Pictured here with towing hitch attached, it is ready for work and play.
Facelift
2006 saw a facelift for the L322, bringing in the ‘1.5’ generation that is widely considered the sweetspot of the L322 era, benefiting from a plethora of updates and upgrades including new headlights, revised front grille becoming mesh, 20″ wheels and discreet supercharged badging.
Royal Range Rover
Understood to have been based predominantly at Windsor Castle, this is believed to be the only supercharged L322 owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II and commissioned for Royal duties.
Fit for a Queen
This special Land Rover represents not only a rare and historically significant L322 but also a unique piece of British motoring heritage with direct ties to the late Queen’s personal collection. A silver Labrador mascot mounted on the hood provides an additional mark of provenance—an ornament reserved exclusively for the Queen’s personal fleet and never offered to the public.
