On formal occasions, the Prince of Wales is often seen in a claret and black 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Landaulet (registration plate NLT 1), which he inherited from Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and later had converted with a fixed roof in place of the former open top. On the evening of 9 December 2010, the prince of Wales and the duchess of Cornwall were travelling in the Silver Jubilee Car to the Royal Variety Performance in London when it was attacked by student protesters; the couple were unhurt, but the car, which was not armoured, was spattered with paint and one of the side windows was smashed.
