*No*, however;
HRH owns/owned a P5B: reg: JGY280 + while the YouTube link suggests another P5B as well, other web info. suggests JGY280 was originally a 3 litre P5 +this registration was transferred to her P5B later ( as per this picture of the earlier car )

1998 "Top Gear" show drives the Queens P5B
Queen Liz maintains an avid interest in things mechanical, having been trained as a driver + mechanic in WW2
I would suggest anyone claiming she owned a P6 Estoura is confusing the car with another Estate conversion she did own; a '61 Vauxhall PA Cresta Friary Estate ( MYT1 ) which is now in the Sandringham museum
