Headlining the collection is a 2012 Bentley Mulsanne, estimated at between £215,000 and £235,000, produced especially by Bentley for HM The Queen for her 2012 Diamond Jubilee tour of Great Britain. The car is finished in Barnato Green, fitted with walnut burr veneered picnic tables, door panels and rear quarter vanity lights and the walnut veneered waist-rails featured inlaid Royal crests. Most famously, it was this Bentley that conveyed The Queen to her only Cabinet Meeting at 10 Downing Street in 2012. Built to the personal specification of HM The Queen, a unique 2001 Daimler Supercharged V8 is estimated at between £50,000 and £60,000.
