steve b Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yeah , the trays are killer I like the way it has been updated , clear signs of Phillip pottering in the garage during idle moments . There is a rebuilt S3 88 in a local car showroom up for £26k and it has a drip tray too... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve King Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 As an aside, my TD5 was originally registered to Highgrove House, but I don't know if HRH's derriere ever graced the seats! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Hunter Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 For all the Royal links to Land Rovers, I was appalled while watching the procession from Balmoral to Edinburgh that the Queen's hearse was a Mercedes. Surely a Rolls Royce or a Jaguar Land Rover could have been used. I'm not sure about later hearses but I thought that I recognised a Toyota badge on one hearse. Perhaps someone in UK can clarify. Surely a faux pas by someone. Mike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least could have made a British made vehicle, even though the company were foreign owned. Something else annoyed me too. When they had the overnight stop in Scotland, there were TV crews outside filming. I dont know if the three security people on the gate were actually Police, or security company staff, but one was leaning on the railings looking as his/her phone, another was kicking gravel around with his hands in his pockets like a bored teenager, and the other was leaning on the wall, with a vape or cigarette going. I dont think they realised they were being filmed, but later on in another shot, they were standing, and paying proper attention to what was going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
