The 4.4 ton armoured limousine is blast resistance, has sealed air-tight cabin from gas attack and kevlar-reinforced tyres.
It features a high roof which makes it easier for the QUEEN to get out in a suitably dignified manner.
The two Bentley’s are kept in the Royal Mews, which is the family’s collection of stables near Buckingham Palace.
When used to ferry the Queen, the traditional “flying B” on the bonnet is replaced with a mascot of St George slaying the dragon. A lion mascot is used if she is in Scotland.
