We look at the cars the late Queen Elizabeth II experienced during her 70-year monarch. The collection of whips is dominated by British car makes, of course, with a selection of Land Rovers, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces used over the seven decades.

The Queen never needed a driver's license, by law, reports TheDrive.com. However, that never stopped her from enjoying off-road machines like the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover Autobiography.

In June 2022, Land Rover commissioned a special Defender 130 adorned with the Queen's patronage of the British Red Cross for her Platinum Jubilee.
