I'd buy that (for a tenner).

saving that photo.. cause if the queen can get her hands dirty, then in this new-age of "metro-sexuals" that call out the AA for a flat tyre. then they too can bloodywell get their hands dirty lol

Here's some more

Awesome! Your Queen rocks (a V8!) !

My late Grandmother's neighbour and best friend was the Queen's Ambulance driving instructor when she joined the ATS. we will be visiting her when we go down for the FOS in a few weeks so i will make sure to show her that picture and ask her all about it. (I believe she was also a friend of the Duke of Richmond's butler and used to go to tea at Goodwood house)

Me too.

That's so cool!

I expect this is the thread where we discover that 95% of PHers are monarchists

I imagine she got one on the wartime exemption- all wartime provisional licences that had been held for more than a year were converted to full licences when driving tests resumed after the war. Unless she had to take the test as part of her ATS training. After all, she would have still needed one before she became Queen.

She may not still have one, though- she might not have bothered to renew it when she turned 70 given that she doesn't need one.

I saw that very Land Rover at Gaydon a couple of days ago. They look like custom made seats to the standard L-R 110 pattern, but upholstered in green leather.

Yup yup, there's nothing staged about those WW2 pics at all.

Not saying she's not handy with a spanner, I actually like Liz.

Her family though....all of them, I've loathed until recently with Will and Kate. I see why people/media are drawn to them two.

I fear Pippa and Harry are both ugly people beyond the cameras.
