Which classic Royal cars could we see at the coronation? Anything from King Charles III much-loved Aston Martins to an up-to-the-minute electric Jaguar. The royal family's car collection is an eclectic mix of motors, old and new.

The royal mews at Buckingham Palace is the primary home of the motorcade of limousines and other luxury vehicles used by the family for formal occasions. These are often referred to as “state cars”.

Many were provided to the royal household by car manufacturers. Bentley, for example, provided two limousines in 2002 for Queen Elizabeth’s golden jubilee, and one was reportedly flown out by the company to Germany for Charles’s first state visit as King last month.

Over the years, the Royal Family have been seen behind the wheel of some of the most iconic British cars. Our favourite is a stunning 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante, a gift from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for Charles’ 21st birthday.

Some of the cars used (officially and unofficially) by the Royal Family over the years include:

• Rolls-Royce Phantom VI
• Land Rover Discovery
• Land Rover Freelander
• Aston Martin DB6
• Audi A8 limousine
• Jaguar XJ
• Bentley Continental Flying Spur
