President Obama’s new Cadillac Limousine

This is the all-new custom-made limousine built especially for the 44th President of the United States of America, Barak Obama. Aptly named the Presidential Limousine, it continues the strong bond with US carmaker Cadillac in producing a state-of-the-art luxury car for the US President.
The inauguration, which took place at the Capitol building in Washington on Tuesday 20 January, saw Barack Obama arriving in style, in his new Presidential Limousine. His Cadillac is a completely new design, featuring all the latest Cadillac styling cues, and an interior fully equipped for presidential use.
Unsurprisingly, details of the new limo's extensive security features remain shrouded in the utmost secrecy - as they have done throughout what's been described as "an extreme testing regime". The car clearly has to withstand virtually any kind of attempt on the new President's life - we won't be finding out how it works anytime soon.
Luxury and security…

But, we can tell you that the cabin area Obama will occupy includes an "extensive executive compartment". This features seating for important meetings on the go, a good view of the outside world (through several inches of bulletproof glass, no doubt), and "useful mobile office features".
The presidential seal is embroidered on the rear seatback and door panels, and also displayed on the outside of the rear doors. Two flags are flown on the front fenders whenever the President is in residence - so to speak - the US national flag on the right, the presidential standard on the left.
Secret Service call it 'the beast'

LED spotlights illuminate these flags at night - demonstrating the Cadillac is more high-tech than its appearance might suggest. Flashing strobe and emergency lighting will almost certainly built in, along with run flat tyres, and immense armoured plating. Don't expect the windows to open. It is also likely to be four-wheel drive.
Changes compared to the previous presidential car, the 2004 Cadillac DTS Presidential Limousine used by President George W. Bush, include a more upright stance for better visibility. But otherwise Obama's new ride is of similar size and proportion. The US Secret Service reputedly refers to these heavyweight machines as 'the beast'.
While earlier presidential Cadillacs were modified and adapted by specialist independent limousine companies, since 1993 Cadillac and parent company General Motors have carried out all of the work in-house. "Cadillac is again honoured to provide a new Presidential Limousine," said Mark McNabb, North American vice president of Cadillac.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1989 Aston Martin Vantage Volante


In place of genuinely new models, and in what eventually became standard practice for constantly-cash-strapped Aston Martin, the cleanly styled V8 gradually sprouted a variety of increasingly wild body mods and numerous, even larger engine conversions reaching a peak with the rather vulgar Vantage and Vantage Volante 6.3.
Prince Charles stuck with the marque, however, and even ordered a hot convertible for himself, albeit without the tacky side skirts and flared wheel arches. The less-is-more idea caught on, and a handful of replicas were later built in what is still known as Prince of Wales specification.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1974 Aston Martin Lagonda



Britain's first Royal undergraduate, in October 1967 Prince Charles arrived at Trinity College, Cambridge in a red chauffeur-driven Mini. His taste in motors soon moved upmarket, however, since when he's been seen in a variety of Aston Martins, including this rare Lagonda.
Essentially a stretched, four-door version of the standard V8 saloon, the idea appealed enormously to company boss and Lagonda fan David Brown but only seven were completed before the project was canned in 1976. With an extra 11 inches in the wheelbase the ride was better than the standard car, but it remained unwieldy with a mammoth 45 feet turning circle.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1965 Ogle Triplex GTS


An obvious precursor to the fashionable if flawed Reliant Scimitar GTE, the Triplex GTS advanced the use of glass in automotive aerodynamics and pioneered the concept of the sports estate.
Oil billionaire Nubar Gulbenkian offered Ogle a blank cheque for it, Lord Snowden was photographed climbing into it, and when Prince Philip let it be known that he'd find the so-called Glazing Test Special a good daily driver, arrangements were made for him to borrow it for the next two years. Clearly his daughter was impressed too, and given a Scimitar for her 20th birthday she was later apprehended for proceeding with undue haste.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1960 Nash Metropolitan



An extraordinary attempt to scale down what was then the look in American auto design, the Nash Metropolitan with its trademark two-tone paintjob ended up looking more like a bath toy than anything approaching a real car.
Despite this, and notwithstanding its feeble performance, it racked up a number of famous owners, including Elvis Presley, Paul Newman and Alma Cogan. Princess Margaret had one too, given to her as a wedding present, but the black convertible was stolen while she was out to lunch. After a police chase through the streets of London, a 14-year-old schoolboy was arrested.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1935 Standard Nine



While he was later to be seen tooling around in a variety of more exotic machines, the Duke of Edinburgh - or Prince Philip of Greece as he then was - began his motoring life in one of these, a cheap and cheerful little runabout which is reckoned to have saved the Standard Motor Company because its larger cars weren't selling well.
In 1950 the company had another brush with Royalty when, during a demonstration for Princess Margaret at the Motor Show, the chairman Sir John Black pulled the wrong lever and accidentally incinerated the company's TRX prototype.

ROYAL ANTIQUE 1934 McLaughlin-Buick


Unaware of Mrs Simpson's affair with a car salesman - the truth came out in secret government papers released in 2003 - Edward VIII liked cars and ordered a customised, Canadian-built McLaughlin-Buick.
Finished in gleaming black, and still owned by him at his abdication three years later, the limousine included such refinements as drinks and jewelry cabinets, vanity mirrors, luncheon trays and a set of blinds to shield him from the public when he was out and about with the double-divorcée. Dubbed the 'most romantic car in the world' the car survived and in December 2007 it sold for $185,000 at auction in the US.

1906 Renault 14/20hp XB



The first car to be owned and run by a British Royal, Edward VII took the plunge after enjoying a run in a steam-powered machine owned by a chum. Clearly enthusiastic about his new purchase - a year later he bestowed the Royal prefix on the Automobile Club - he was nevertheless not remotely interested in how they worked.
While a bit more clued up than his cousin the Kaiser (who believed cars were powered by 'potato spirit') His Majesty would growl at his chauffeur every time his Hooper-bodied car in its Royal Claret livery broke down or misbehaved.
