Camry 99
Honda accord 99
Benz c class 2000
ETC

Awesome. My Dad was a Commissioner of Education in Jigawa State in 1995 and this was his official ride.

wagazala:

That was like having an s550 Mercedes in the 70’s , could remember down to 1999 some governors had it as their official car.

GEEBITE:
By sept 1986 504SR jumped to 23k. Saw the receipt of my dad's purchase from Asao motors from his large brief case where he archived important documents when we processing his letter of admin .

Time changes yesterday.... nice book. you must be an 80s kid...

I don't think so. The Mercedes has always been a high status car and mid 70s was no exception. The move to Peugeot, seen as a middle class car, was actually a directive from OBJ

In fact it was the profligacy that characterized much the Gowon years where public officials were using exotic high end cars (like the benz) that made OBJ make the directive.
Correct. Please take one coke.

I could have made my question more complete but I didn't mean British PM doesn't have official car, I meant it is few and you hardly know there is one. American POTUS goes with fleets and that's who we copy.

For the MPs, I only know about the ones having ministerial or cabinet appointments and probably shadow ministers, as having official car. Even at that, no fleets.

That's my State sir
