The Duke of Edinburgh donated his black taxi to The Sandringham Museum.
The 95-year-old royal has handed over the eco-friendly Metrocab, which he travelled in around London in a bid to go under the radar for many decades, to the gallery for it to be featured in their upcoming exhibition.
The Sandringham Museum announced the news on their website, the newsletter read: "Also in the Museum there will be a new vehicle on display this year – HRH The Duke of Edinburgh’s taxi, which he used for travelling to both official and private engagements in London, has arrived at Sandringham and has been added to the display in the Royal Garages."
Prince Philip first started using the gas-powered vehicle in 1999, which is a unique model as it has a Ford engine, and for any occasion for almost two decades
And the decision to pass over the prized possession was made slightly easier by the fact the car was due to undergo a number of repairs and alterations to ensure it was road safe, which led Philip to put the model to better use at the showcase.
However, Philip was not solely a passenger in the taxi, as he often decided to swap places and drive instead.
Speaking previously, a source said: "Taxi drivers seemed uncertain how to react to yesterday’s news that the Duke of Edinburgh will soon be spinning around town in a London taxi.
"It will normally be driven by a Buckingham Palace chauffeur, but Prince Philip may take the wheel when fancy dictates."
The Sandringham Museum and its Gardens is set to be open for viewing on Saturday (01.04.17).
