Thé hearst was custom made with the Queens consultation! Go Jaguar ! She chose to go out in a Jaguar and she could have had a Rolls etc..

 

Why did she choose Jaguar?

 

She wouldn't be seen dead in a BMW?

 

Yea these are not the best looking Jags for sure!!








The proportions are all messed up and it looks very awkward in Limo and/or hearse form.
I have a SWB XJR and it's big so adding another set of doors would really make it BIG!

Her Majesty the Queen was transported within Scotland in this hearse. Recognize the car maker?




In London, Her Majesty then was placed in a proper hearse.

 

Any idea what that hood ornament is? It definitely is not a leaper.

 

Apparently she helped design the hearse with Jaguar - the Royals have a long history with JLR. Although Charles does drive and elderly Aston.

Emblem was St George slaying the Dragon according to this

I think some of the news people got the hearse wrong? I keep seeing them say it's an XF hearse when it's plainly an XJ?
Here is a line from the story?
"The car was a Jaguar XF sedan converted into a hearse by Wilcox Limousines."

But all the pictures show a modified XJ plus why would the queen not be carried to her final resting place in ANYTHING except the absolute top of the line Jaguar? Which is the XJ.

The Queen was a classy lady and she earned and deserved to take her last ride in a classy car. The only thing in my opinion is that it should have been painted British Racing Green as the Queen liked to "make them go" when she drove her cars.

 

I think she preferred the "royal claret" that she specified.

 

Maybe Jag since R.R. is owned by V.W.? Is Bentley also?
A true if inevitable loss for the UK. Hope Charles does well.

Condolences to all our UK members.

 

Rolls Royce is owned by BMW. Bentley is owned by VW.

 

Doesn't look like a XJ to me.
