s90 Royal and s90 Executive?

Post by polskamafia mjl »

I recently came across the s90 Royal/Executive. I can't find too much information online about this car. First of all I was interested in knowing if it was sold in the U.S. Second, what is the difference between the Royal and the Executive? Is it the same car w/ a different name depending on country or are they two separate cars? Also, how much do they usually go for used? I know that an 850 T5-R is far more expensive than an 850 GLT w/ comparable miles. Does the same hold true for the Royal/Executive?

The Executive and the Royal were slightly longer, about 6" if my memory hasn't collapsed altogether, than the standard 960/S90 with the extra space being dedicated to the rear passenger area. The rear doors were stretched to give easier access.

Some links for you to play with:
960 Exexutive.
S90 Executive.
This is the Royal as posted by member Peter Shen

I would think they would have been available in the US, although according to Peter's find only 30 Royals were made. The leather upholstery was done by Hermes - very expensive for a scarf so for a leather seat........beyond my bank balance.
