The Range Rover that Queen Elizabeth of England personally drove shares an incredible connection with a nearly identical Range Rover L322 owned by Jeremy Clarkson.
Both vehicles look the same, not just because they’re from the same year but also because they have the same color scheme.
But there’s another reason why these two vehicles are connected.
And it’s an incredible coincidence.

What makes Clarkson’s Range Rover and the Queen’s Range Rover so similar
There’s a very long list of reasons that make these two cars nearly identical.
They’re painted in the exact same color, ‘Tonga Green’, and they have very similar wheels and interiors.
But the thing that will definitely make your jaw drop is that these two 2007 Range Rover L322s were built on the same day, and registered in England on the exact same day as well.

The Range Rover that Queen Elizabeth used to drive carries a chassis number only 10 units apart and a registration that only differs by just two letters.
The Queen’s one is BJ57 OLH, while Clarkson’s is BJ57 OJV.
This is probably the definitive proof that coincidences do exist.
Why Jeremy Clarkson refuses to sell his ‘old’ Range

Jeremy Clarkson has an eight-figure net worth, but he still refuses to sell his old Range Rover L322.
This is because, as he’s explained in several of his newspaper columns, he tends to be quite conservative when it comes to money.
He doesn’t really like to spend it on things he feels he doesn’t need.

This explains why, ironically, his car collection is relatively modest.
He sold both his Ford GT and Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG Black years ago, and never replaced either of them.
It also explains why, for example, he never bought a Lexus LFA, his favorite car, even though he can definitely afford one.
