We see a shot of Helen Mirren and James Cromwell (playing the Queen and Prince Philip) inside the limousine, but it clearly isn't the same car (notice that the rear window is full size as opposed to the tiny little square window on the real Queen's car). ![[Image: queenrolls4at6.6381.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is212/queenrolls4at6.6381.jpg) -- Last edit: 2007-09-13 16:26:01 |

G-MANN's 3rd thumbnail looks like a regular Phantom VI to me. |

Look at the first thumbnail, the car has single circular highlights instead of double ones (like the Phantom VI has), so this must be a Phantom V, the Queen also had a couple of them in her fleet. The State car Phantom is different to a normal Phantom, it has a much higher roof. -- Last edit: 2007-09-13 17:36:01 |

On that page you've linked it says the Queen Mother recieved a Phantom V in 1962, but it isn't that because if you look closely at the picture, you'll that it has a convertible roof. It's probably the Number 2 State Car shown in the other picture on that page, but I don't know what year that one was made. Shouldn't this car be given a special name since it was a specially customised Phantom V (it had a much higher roof)? |

yes, again, checked my Autocar on Rolls Royce, from Hamlyn, This is a 1960 Phantom V. built by Park Ward, on a standard chassis but with a raised roof. The side and rear part of the roof is pannelled in a large Perspex moulding, which may be covered with an aluminium and cellular plastic dome when privacy was desired, as in the picture. |

Her Majesty actually had two Phantom V 'Canberra' State Limousines by Park Ward, both supplied in the early sixties. Addittionally she had the Silver Jubilee Canberra Phantom VI in 1978 (too late because of industrial action..) and another Phantom VI Limousine which was only slightly adapted from the regular car. In addition there were two Phantom IV.. Now two Bentley State Limousines have taken over the status of of first and scond state car. |

This seems to be quite cheap  Is it a clunker? For a similar price you can get a Mercedes 600 [W100] in very good condition. Obviously the former users couldn't push the price as it happened here: Link to "www.telegraph.co.uk" -- Last edit: 2011-10-14 10:52:20 |

Seems the two P5 Canberras are known as Canberra I (#5AS33)in 1960 and Canberra II (#5AT34) unconfirmed early 60s. Both very similar designs - no info on how to separate them. The 1977 P6 is Canberra III (#PGH101). |
