Queen Elizabeth II died today at the age of 96. She was the UK’s longest-serving monarch, reigning for 70 years. Born on April 21, 1926 as Princess Elizabeth of York, she acceded to the throne in 1952 aged just 25. It celebrated its platinum jubilee earlier this year.
Many automakers have taken to social media to mourn his death and offer their condolences. Aston Martin shared on Twitter that the Queen was “a passionate champion of British culture, enterprise and innovation”. Jaguar and Land Rover shared the same message on their respective social media accounts, sending their thoughts and condolences to the Royal Family.

Lotus, Lister, Caterham and Morgan also took to social media to share their thoughts. Lotus called her an “extraordinary role model for people all over the world”, while Vauxhall called her 70-year reign “an inspiration to everyone”.
Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford also released a statement on Queen Elizabeth’s passing, offering his condolences to the Royal Family and people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. In the statement, Bill said his death left him deeply saddened. “The Queen has been an unwavering and exemplary world leader” who has demonstrated “the true meaning of service and dedication”.
While Her Majesty was a Royal, she joined the British Army during World War II. She drove ambulances and learned to repair heavy trucks while on duty, which gave her a love of driving and a particular fondness for Land Rover. She was spotted late last year driving around the grounds of Windsor Castle in a green Jaguar wagon. She has been spotted driving on several occasions, often behind the wheel of a customized Land Rover.
Queen Elizabeth II, who has almost reached the age of 100, has seen monumental societal changes. She served in World War II, working with 15 prime ministers and meeting with 13 of 14 US presidents during her tenure as Queen.
Prince Charles, Her Majesty’s eldest son, will now ascend the throne and become King Charles III. Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, preceded her in death in 2021. They had been married for 73 years.
