Most often, ordinary car enthusiasts can only dream of driving the cars of kings, princes, sultans or presidents. However, sooner or later such cars leave government fleets and sometimes even appear on the market. This year alone, several copies from “special purpose garages” were put up for auction. Among such lots were, for example, a unique limousine, a one-of-a-kind “beach” supercar and a luxury compact, as well as an almost standard SUV and a modestly equipped sedan.
