The Royal country station wagon has been the late Queen's favourite and it has spent its first year on the Sandringham Estate.

The incredible car covered minimal mileage while there with its first service completed showing only 679 miles.

After the current owner purchased the vehicle, it has done over 40,000 miles in the past 14 years.

Car experts at Iconic Auctioneers of Ashorne, Warks expect the vehicle to go under the hammer for £35,000.

The 2008 Land Rover Defender 90 TDCi country station wagon spent 18 months on the 20,000 acre Norfolk country retreat.

During its Royal service the late monarch clocked up 679 miles around the lavish grounds of the estate purchased by Edward VII in 1862.

In 2010, the vehicle was returned to Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations at Gaydon, Warks.

It was purchased by the current owner who has done over 40,000 miles in the past 14 years.

The classic model was initially launched in 1948 and has been popular among drivers for more than six decades.
