A Range Rover that was once used by UK's Queen Elizabeth II is up for sale. Bramley Auctioneers have listed the Loire blue Range Rover, complete with ivory leather interior, on their website with the price set at a whopping 224,850 pounds (over 2 crores). The auction house also shared images of the vehicle on Instagram, which showed former US President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama sitting in the vehicle. Notably, the car was part of the royal household's fleet in 2016 and 2017.

The car has 18,000 miles on the clock. In another nod to its royal history, it also has the same number plate as when used by Queen Elizabeth II. "Land Rovers and Range Rovers that have seen service with the Royal Household normally always have the vehicle registration numbers changed once out of service, this is so that the vehicle's prior use can never be confirmed, however, this example still retains its original registration number, that being OU16 XVH, making it a unique opportunity to acquire a Range Rover with undisputed Royal and Presidential provenance," the website reads.
Notably, the car has been photographed numerous times during royal events, including during a state visit by former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in April 2016. The Obamas were ushered into the car along with the late monarch and Prince Philip after arriving at Windsor Castle for a private lunch.
