The Appeal
Take the X-Type, make it an Estate and pack it with the Sovereign trim. A car fit for royalty, and in this case, it can be taken literally.
This impressive example was supplied new to the Royal household in 2008 - indeed, driven by the late Queen Elizabeth the 2nd multiple times - and remained in their care until 2016, at which point it was sold by Fletchdale Limited with a reported 7,600 miles on the clock. Observers may note the dog grille fitted, no doubt to help wrangle unruly corgis!
Since then, it has been in private hands and has benefited from regular servicing. The vendor informs us that the exterior paintwork presents well, with only minor blemishes caused by bird lime and a small scuff beneath the rear bumper. It's certainly a fittingly proud, grandiose car, and thanks to its distinguished backstory, we expect that it'll gain plenty of interest at auction.
Accompanied by a long MOT and reportedly in fine mechanical health, we think this handsome car is bound to impress its lucky new keeper.image.png1.47 MB
