Lot Essay
This Jaguar saloon is the last official car allocated to the late Baroness Thatcher by The Government Car Service (a division of the Department for Transport). There were other official cars used during her time in office both as Prime Minister and as an ex-Prime Minister but this is the only official car used by her that can be substantiated. This car was loaned to David Cameron during the 2010 General Election and was used by him en route to Downing street after his first meeting with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
