Automotive Royal Parade

The most awaited wedding of the year the parade drew some great cars in the royal garage. Ceremony British tried not to omit any motorized pride, even though most British brands are now owned by Germans and Indians …

The star of the day was clearly Aston Martin convertible that William and Kate have left Buckingham Palace after the ceremony. The model dates from 1969 and a DB6 Volante that Prince Charles received a gift at the age of 21 years. It has a 4000 cc engine and 282 horsepower. Like other royal car, Aston Martin’s first amendment concerned the engine to run on bio-ethanol, all for the sake of our planet. Aston Martin is still a trademark owned by the British.

Rolls-Royce currently has two models of the collection. Charles and Camilla arrived at the church’s oldest royal car in the garage. Rolls-Royce Phantom IV dates from 1950 and is part of a limited range of only 18 copies, manufactured exclusively for royalty and heads of state between 1950 and 1956. Each received a different body, made of different workshops. Of these only 16 have survived until today. Rolls-Royce brand now belongs to BMW Group.

Kate and his father journeyed to the church in a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI in 1977, the same car last year has been the victim of a group of students protesting against the royal family. At that time inside Charles and Camilla were to be found. The model has been completely redone. Phantom VI is one of the most exclusive Rolls-Royce models manufactured between 1968 and 1991 in a series of 374 units. It has a 6.3 l V8 engine and the last separate chassis Body Rolls. The Queen received in 1977 to celebrate 25 years of reign. Called Silver Jubilee Car limousine is custom bodywork (high ceiling and extensive glazed area) and the Queen was the official car to replace the two sites Bentley introduced in 2002. Like other state machine, Rolls-Royce has no license plates and is distinguished by the royal emblem mounted on the ceiling.

Bentley State Limousine, the current option for the Queen, is in office since 2002 and is an ultra special edition of which only two units were produced, both out for a walk at the wedding. The church first came to the two brothers, William and Harry, and the second Queen and her husband. Following the tradition of 25 years ago, Bentley received the honor to mark 50 years of reign for Queen Elizabeth II. The Arnage range is inspired but was substantially modified so as well as technical design. Compared to the version number, official vehicle of the Royal House is 100 cm long, higher, wider and weighs four tons. Glazed area was enlarged and armor gives a high level of security. The engine is a V8 engine with 400 horsepower, enough to allow a maximum speed of 210 km / h. Solid rear doors with reverse opening are another feature, as is the textile upholstery Hield Brothers performed. When the Queen is on board, the hood ornament Bentley is specifically replaced by his Majesty’s personal symbol, St. George the dragon in battle. Bentley is part of Volkswagen Group.

The latest issue belonged to Jaguar. The new stretched wheelbase XJ version paraded before a global audience of over 2 billion people carrying Kate’s family, specifically her mother and brother. The model has been completely reinvented the tradition started last year and Jaguar has a body made entirely of aluminum. Jaguar and Land Rover / Range Rover were bought by Indian group Tata Motors.
