A Range Rover was sold for $165,000 after evidence emerged that it probably belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. AdvertisementA 2004 Range Rover with suspected ties to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has shattered auction records, selling for $165,000. The auction's outcome was more than double the pre-sale estimate of £60,000, or $75,000 — 10 times the usual price for a second-hand Range Rover that old. AdvertisementBefore the video's discovery, the only original ownership information was a letter from Jaguar Land Rover, which builds the Ranger Rover, identifying warranty recalls in July 2004 at a Land Rover dealer in London's high-end Mayfair district and one in Aberdeen, Scotland. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, spent 16 years designing his own hearse: a modified Land Rover.
