I just found some pics of the new Australian coach to be presented to Her Majesty sometime in the coming months.
It will be a belated 80th birthday gift...

The State Coach Britannia

THE STATE COACH BRITANNIA

[Madame Royale]

The coach is exquisite. Sure to be one of, if not the finest in the fleet!

A belated birthday gidt from Australia? And a most impressive birthday gift at that.

I hope it will be ready in time for HM to take to Parliament in November.

Q. Alexandra's coach, used to carry "The Crown" to Opening of Parliament.
The Scottish State Coach.
The Australian State Coach, 1988 gift.
The new Brittannia Coach, still under construction.
The Glass coach takes royal brides to their weddings.
The State Landau brings back the royal wedding couple to Buck. Palace.
The Ivory Phaeton is used for the Birthday Parade.
The Ambassadors coach aka The Semi State Coach?? brings ambassadors to present their credentials.
The Royal Messenger Coach delivers between Buck/Pal and Clarence House and has a single horse.

These are the coaches/landaus I have been able to discover.
Are there other? What are they called?

I think they'll user the Brittania for future royal weddings, maybe.

Hello everyone!.......would anyone know on which one of the Queen's Estates she used to drive a Vauxhall Cresta on (the same model as in the pic, but painted Black, or possibly Claret)

I assume it's no longer used, but it is not housed in the Sandringham motor museum, I would have thought it unlikely it would have been scrapped.......any ideas?
