At DeliverMyMotor, we pride ourselves on providing the highest level of care and professionalism when it comes to transporting vehicles. Recently, we had the incredible honor of transporting a piece of British automotive history – the 1970 Daimler Vanden Plas DS 420 limousine that once belonged to the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the fascinating history of this remarkable car and share how DeliverMyMotor ensured its safe transportation.
This prestigious limousine has recently been listed for auction by Morris Leslie Auctions in Perth, bearing the Chassis number 1M1559. It is worth noting that vehicles like these typically had unique plates, such as NLT1 and NLT2, which were later removed.
The listed guide price for this extraordinary piece of automotive history is between £9,000 and £10,000. However, given its royal provenance and exclusivity, we anticipate that the final bid will far exceed this initial estimate.

The Queen Mother’s Royal Ride
The 1970 Daimler Vanden Plas DS 420 was an iconic symbol of British automotive excellence and the epitome of luxury during its time. Custom-built for the Queen Mother, this particular limousine featured a unique dark blue and claret color scheme, the Royal crest, and various other official insignias. The interior was just as opulent, with fine leather, wood veneer, and plush carpets to ensure a comfortable and elegant ride for the Queen Mother.
