Land Rover will celebrate its ties to the British royal family at Pebble Beach



The British royal family has stood proud as one of Land Rover's VIP customers for decades. While the brand is in the process of splitting into three entities, it will reunite at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to highlight 10 of the off-roaders it has built for British royalty.

Putting together the display was easier said than done. Some of the vehicles still belong to the royal family while others are now in private collections. Land Rover's Classic division still owns a few, and the rest normally live in the British Motor Museum. Land Rover notes this will be the first time these 10 vehicles are displayed together in the United States, and it will throw a British garden party to mark the occasion.

The oldest model in the display is a 1954 Series I State Review vehicle. It's the first of its kind, and it was built to take Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, on a six-month tour of the Commonwealth. Several examples were built; the one that Land Rover will show in Pebble Beach was used by the royal couple to drive around Australia. We're told that it notably features a custom-designed rear platform.
