Thought you might appreciate this, especially with the sad news. When then Princess Elizabeth did her service in WWII, she was taught how to look under the hood and maintain the vehicles.
It may be the romantic in me, but I like to think she kept up the skill, snuck out of the palace on occasion and helped do an oil change or two while giving the mechanics a hard time!
In all seriousness, it's fascinating footage.
