J12 M40
British Motor Museum
Built on a 1958 chassis, this vehicle is known as State II and was fitted out as a ceremonial review vehicle and finished in claret and dark blue leather.
The grille is very unusual and may be a later update of the vehicle. The plated bumper and hub caps are unique, while the blue lenses for the side lamps indicate that the vehicle was part of the Royal fleet and switched on when a member of the Royal family is carried.
State II was the reserve ceremonial vehicle and was always kept in the transport department of the Land Rover factory at Solihull and the present mileage is little more than 13,000 miles from new.
