Spotted on the funeral of Margaret Thatcher - a very nice standard looking L405 escorting the hearse.

I guess we'll be seeing a few more of these on the news at Government events. I must say, it looked every inch a proper Range Rover !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I did wonder if it had just been chosen at random from the fleet or whether it was sponsored in some way....

It did look right though - unlike the silver VW mini-bus that followed the Queen to St Pauls

you could argue that the move upmarket of the FFRR in the Eighties was part of her legacy... you all know my views on L405 so I won't bore you but it was right that a RR of some sort was involved: the queen quite likes her hippy buses now... part of the royal fleet!

The silver vw is an ambulance that they've been using regularly since the days of The Queen Mother. If memory serves me right it even carries one of the QM's old private plates. 2009 Vogue TDV8 Nara Bronze
