The Queen liked to be in the driving seat throughout her reign – and could even fix cars.
During the Second World War, the then Princess Elizabeth joined the Army aged 18 and learned how to drive and maintain ambulances and trucks.
Newspapers dubbed her ‘Princess Auto Mechanic’ and she even gave her father, King George VI, a tutorial in engine maintenance at The Mechanical Transport Training Section in Camberley, Surrey, in 1945.
