VW Golf "Pope"

Shortly after cardinal Josef Ratzinger’s election to become pope, the papal Golf turned up on the internet. The car was previously registered to Ratzinger, but was mostly driven by a clerk. Lucky for the German student though, who discovered the previous owner on the registration document. A casino in the USA purchased the Golf for a proud price of 188,938.88 Euros. The „small“ papal Golf was produced in 2006 exclusively for Bavarian retailers.
