 Citroen - It's almost hats off for the Queen - Falkirk Bairn
Queen is off on her D-day visits to France next week.

The Socialist Hollande has downgraded official cars to C5/C6 which are too wee for the Queen and her hats.

Bit of an issue as the obvious cars - MB/RR/Bentley are all German owned.

Renault is lending 2 x Vel Satis from the company car museum - so it is 2nd class Renaults for QE next week.

What car would you have recommended for the visit?

She could always pitch up on a Churchill tank, plenty of hat room from the turret.
Alternatively send Nigel (Farage) +1, he could always go with Marine Le Pen as a reminder to M. Hollande what will happen again if his sort don't get their act together.

May be a nod to the Republic's habit of loping royal heads off.

Perhaps she should take her own:

My very thought. She must have a dozen or more dating from the 1940s to the present.

If they're going to raid the French car museums, they should dust of the old Citroen SM Presidentielle.

Stretched SM, 4-door with a convertible roof. By Chapron IIRC.
