And it's expected to fetch up to £70,000 when it goes on sale at the Silverstone Festival on August 23.
The monarch famously took the wheel at events including the 2007 Royal Windsor Horse Show, with the vehicle specially kitted out for royal duties.
It boasts enhanced internal wiring for security and communications, bespoke side steps, mud flaps, and even a made-to-measure dog guard – a nod to the Queen's lifelong love of dogs.
Rear grab handles, since removed but with traces still visible, were once fitted to help her Majesty in and out.

Perhaps its most charming feature is the silver labrador mascot, an emblem reserved only for the Queen's personal fleet.
Adding to its rarity, the car is believed to be the only L322 Range Rover owned by the Royal Household fitted with the Jaguar-derived 4.2-litre Supercharged V8 – delivering performance as commanding as it was dignified.
With just under 120,000 miles on the clock, the vehicle is described as being in 'exemplary condition throughout.'
Rob Hubbard, Managing Director and Principal Auctioneer of Iconic Auctioneers, said: 'Vehicles with such distinguished provenance rarely enter the market, making this an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Matthew Chapman, director of global portfolio for the car care company, said: 'Drivers set rules because they care – not just about cleanliness, but about protecting something that's a reflection of themselves. 'For many people, a Advertisement Most read in Motors Latest 'Whether it's keeping the paintwork pristine, upgrading the tech or splashing out on premium fuel, the emotional connection we have with our vehicles often drives us to spend far more than we realise. 'From Just days until August 1 'left lane' law will throw drivers in PRISON for 'driving just one mph under the speed limit' Other ways drivers keep their motors looking flawless include parking away from other vehicles (21 per cent) and never letting anyone else behind the wheel (19 per cent). And for 41 per cent, cleaning the car even doubles up as a form of stress relief or therapy. Advertisement When their pride and joy is gleaming, 17 per cent feel relaxed, 14 per cent proud – and 10 per cent even say it boosts their confidence. Jo Hemmings, behavioural psychologist, said: 'Our cars, like our homes, are an extension of our own identity. "If we like to look our best when socialising for example – or even just a trip to the shops – then the chances are, it's the same people who present their car with an equal level of high standards. 'As with our homes, showcasing it to reflect our pleasure in living in it, as well as representing our personality, the same can be said about the condition and appearance of our cars. Advertisement "It's also about impression management - a pristine car says something about the way that we live and what we'd like others to think about us. "It speaks of efficiency, organisation, enjoyment and self-respect.' TOP 10 'CAR RULES' The top 10 rules that drivers enforce in their cars have been revealed. The rules include: No smoking No rubbish left behind No feet on the dashboard Everyone must buckle up before moving No slamming the doors No muddy clothing No food or drink in the car No eating fast food No opening fizzy drinks Wipe shoes before getting in To pamper their car further, 23 per cent have taken photos of it, while 19 per cent have given theirs a nickname, according to the findings conducted by And 19 per cent admit they've avoided giving someone a lift – purely to prevent their car from getting grubby.

'Whether it's paying extra for ceramic coating, refusing to eat or drink in the car, or insisting that passengers 'mind the doors', these little rituals all add up to a clear message: this car matters as it is a reflection of me. 'Ultimately, it's about more than just paintwork and polish. 'The lengths people go to in order to protect their cars reveal a sense of pride, identity and emotional investment that's hard to match.' Advertisement WHAT YOUR CAR SAYS ABOUT YOU ACCORDING TO BEHAVIOURAL PSYCHOLOGIST JO HEMMINGS Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings has revealed what your car habits say about you. A Pristine Interior - a need for control and calm If your car is spotless inside - no crumbs, no clutter, even the dashboard gleams - it often signals someone who yearns for control, order and mental clarity. You'll likely find a clean environment calming and use that to deal with external stress. It can also indicate conscientiousness and pride in personal standards. Firm Passenger Rules - strong boundaries and assertive If you ask people to clean their shoes, ban food and drink and are strict about no door slamming for example, you are likely to be assertive, self-aware and value respect for your space. You take ownership of your environment, whether that's your home, your workspace or your car. A Messy Car Interior - a creative, free-spirited mindset If your car is chaotic and you're totally fine with that, it suggests a personality that leans toward spontaneity, creativity and maybe a disorganised approach to life. You often value experiences over aesthetics and may prioritise emotional connection over outward appearances. A Gleaming Exterior - image-conscious and socially aware If your car is always washed and waxed with spotless windows, you're likely to be image-conscious and attentive to how you're perceived. You value first (and subsequent) impressions and see your car as an extension of your personal identity. You may also have a competitive or status-aware streak. No Rules at All – easy-going, possibly reckless If your passengers can eat, drink, play loud music and travel in muddy clothes, you probably prioritise comfort and connection over control. You might be open and flexible, but there's a chance that your slapdash approach might spill over into carelessness. 3 Smoking was the most banned behaviour in cars Credit: SWNS
