Daimler Double 6 of King George VI (Oxford). Very possible she got a ride as a very young child.
RR Phantom IV Chassis 4AF2 (Rextoys). The car dates from 1950 (when she was a Princess) but was still around at the time of her coronation.

Very very cool Harv. Do you have a model of the Land Rover she drove the Saudi King in? Just heard that story.

Such grace and dignity from her early years and throughout her long life of service.

This Corgi has been the centerpiece of my parade display for many years, perhaps thirty.

Such great examples. I wonder if these vehicles were saved? An amazing 70 year reign by a classy and devoted lady....one of a kind in this world.

@jack-dodds Some of them. I seem to recall a few making an appearance at Prince Harry's wedding.

Here's one I found on the 'net. Find the picture by opening the article.
Quite the Getaway Car: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Vintage Jaguar E-Type
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the luncheon after their wedding at Windsor Castle, the newlyweds drove off in a vintage Jaguar that looked straight out of a James Bond movie.
The silver blue Jaguar E-Type was first manufactured in 1968, but last year Jaguar Land Rover revealed they converted the car to run on electric power. They created what it called the E-Type Concept Zero, a zero-emissions version of what Enzo Ferrari once dubbed “the most beautiful car in the world.”
The electric model is quicker than the original E-Type—going from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour for those more familiar with miles) takes just 5.5 seconds, which is about one second faster than a Series 1 E-Type.
When Prince Harry's older brother wed Kate Middleton in 2011, the newly named Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left Buckingham Palace in a vintage vehicle that belonged to Prince Charles.
USA Today reports that the 1969 Aston Martin DB6 MK2 Volante was a gift from the Queen and Prince Philip for his 21st birthday.
When Pippa Middleton married James Matthews last year, the couple drove off in a 1961 E-Type that is reportedly the oldest in the world.
A love of vintage, luxury cars must be a family affair. Although our invitation to the royal wedding was lost in the mail, the BluePrint Engines team is hoping for a ride in that vintage Jaguar someday.
