Back in 2002 when the motor was presented to the Queen, Bentley released that both the Queen and late Duke of Edinburgh had significant input in designing the car. For the interior, the royal couple opted for a high-end lambswool cloth interior for a comfortable seat covering.In celebration of 50 years on the throne, Bentley was gifted the 2 Bentley State Limousines.
The Bentley limousine has become a prized possession in the Royal vehicle armoury. It’s clear to see why, too, as the Bentley State Limousine’s created for the queen are the only two available in the world. Bentley’s long-standing connection with the Royal Family and the British brand even meant that the British brand promised the Queen the first-ever Bentley Bentayga model when it launched in 2015.If you’re lucky enough to spot the royal Bentley, the flags onboard the bonnet depict whether the queen is travelling within the cabin. The traditional “flying B” is replaced with her mascot of St George slaying the dragon, or a lion if she’s in Scotland.
The car travels on Kevlar-reinforced tyres to make sure the car can travel to safety if her tyres were to run flat in an altercation.
