Land Rover gives Charles and Camilla the royal treatmentBritain's royal couple has been gifted sixteen new sport-utes by Blighty's own magisterial truck manufacturer: Land Rover. According to the Daily Record, Charles and Camilla took delivery on Friday of eight Range Rovers and eight Discoveries, all painted Balmoral green. The fleet of 4x4s, reportedly worth in excess of £400,000 (circa $693k USD) were shipped from the company's Solihull factory boxed in steel containers for security reasons.

We at Autoblog can certainly see royalty taking a 'pass' on the hapless Freelander, but why no love for the Range Rover Sport?
