What car does your Head of State/Government drive?

Our king Harald V has a non-descript Cadillac limousine and 2 Volvo S80 Limousines, as well as a BMW 7-series (don't think it's a V12). The Prime Minister has a BMW 760li.

The Swedish king and PM have to make do with Saabs and Volvos too.

G Dub rolls a Cadillac Limo that is armored hardcore, and I think his Texas ranch vehicle is an F150 or some Ford SUV.

And he wants more oil, can't imagine why...

The Queen also has this from Bentley, designed to run on LPG and specially built for the Queen's use on State occasions.


It was a gift in recognition of her Golden Jubilee year in 2002.

Our president had a stretched Volvo 960, now they bought him a BMW 760 High Security. The PM and government members ride BMW 760s (the previous generation). At least I think so.

Oh, and the new BMW has been officially bought to be used by the pope during his upcoming visit. But since Volvo went to museum last year I'm sure our beloved Mr. President will end up using the 760HS He can't say he simply bought it for himself, because one of his main electoral promises was to run the country in a cheap way. Buying a limo for 470k EUR doesn't fit into it. But since it's been bought for religious purposes, people will forgive him

The executive motor pool also includes a few Chevy Suburbans, and possibly some Lincoln Town Cars, which I think are more typically used for visiting dignitaries and Dick "I Can't Believe it's Not a Quail" Cheney.
