At first sight it seems just another second-hand1 luxury car for sale but this Jaguar2 included some special extras in its day such as emergency convoy3 lights and a direct radio link to the British Prime Minister. 乍一看,它只不过是一辆待售的二手豪华小轿车,但这辆捷豹车在当年还配备了一些特殊的配件,如紧急护卫灯,以及可直接联系英国首相的无线电设备。 Britain's Queen Elizabeth exits her Daimler V8 in Ascot, Berkshire, in this undated handout photo. That's because the green Daimler V8 was formerly5 owned and driven by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II between 2001 and 2004. Delivered to the royal family with 2,000 test miles, the queen added 12,000 more miles to the clock traveling to and from Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. It was specifically built for the British monarch6(君主,帝王) and designed to satisfy all her needs. It has a special armrest to accommodate(适应,调节) the queen's handbag and the original registration7 used by her is still in the vehicle, the Independent newspaper reported. The car, which has a list price(标价) of 65,000 pounds ($99,310), was in secure storage at the Jaguar factory until Peter Radcliffe, a specialist memorabilia dealer8, bought it. He is now offering it for sale on the website www.hmthequeensdaimler.com. "It is in truly immaculate(完美的,无瑕疵的) as new condition and has all original paperwork, service book, spare keys and photographs of the queen driving the car," Radcliffe said on the website. 点击收听单词发音
