This former Princess Anne’s car was loaned to her after it caught her eye at its launch. She placed an order but was loaned a first-edition prototype during production delays. The Scimitar has covered just 50,500 miles and has a top speed of 140 mph. This is also expected to go around the same price as the late Queen’s golf cart.
