Man, I'm not having any luck reading what you're posting - sometimes
Ebay links are so huge they don't go through, try tinyurl.com
IT sounds interesting though!

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 ? a small edition is still available at Herpa eXtra.
