A Bentley believed to have belonged to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> has gone for sale at a Doncaster dealership for just under \u00a3125,000.<\/p>\n

Clocking just 7,000 miles, the luxury car was listed on Portland of Bawtry Ltd\u2019s website, a Doncaster-based dealership, as an \u201cEx Royal Family Car\u201d for \u00a3124,975. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor previously drove a Bentley Flying Spur with a personalised Duke of York number plate to his father\u2019s funeral in 2021 and to his granddaughter\u2019s christening the year after.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor dropped his personalised \u201cA03 DOY\u201d number plate last October, around the same time the King announced the process to strip him of his titles had begun, and it is no longer listed on the DVLA website.<\/p>\n

The Bentley Flying Spur was reportedly bought new for \u00a3220,000 six years ago before the former Duke of York sprayed it Barnato racing green. The car has a linen and Cumbrian green diamond quilted leather interior, a six litre engine, with 22\u201d Polished Alloy wheels and four wheel drive. The lucky owner can enjoy massage front and rear seats and a Naim sound system. <\/p>\n

Portland Autos\u2019 owner Clive Watson told The Times<\/a> that the prestige car supplier realised who the previous owner was after making inquiries over its \u201cvery strange service history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found it had a very strange service history so made some inquiries and realised it was a royal household car, and eventually we put two and two together and worked it all out,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t buy the car from the royal household directly, it came through a third party, but the fact that it was owned by a royal is likely to help sell it as it is both something of interest about the car and it means it will have been incredibly well cared for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bentley is beautiful, in flawless condition and has just 7,000 miles on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sale comes as Mr Mountbatten-Windsor is set to take Thames Valley Police<\/a> to court in a bid to quash search warrants<\/a> which led to his arrest in February.<\/p>\n

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations he shared sensitive information with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> during his time as the UK\u2019s trade envoy. He has always denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The private High Court<\/a> hearing is due to take place on Thursday at 2pm before Mr Justice Hilliard. The High Court will also consider a bid by the Thames Valley Police to restrict access to certain documents. The force will set out its position on the potential impact releasing these documents could have on its criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson told The Independent previously: \u201cWhilst our investigation into misconduct in public office continues, we are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.\u201d<\/p>\n
