Solved: Wendax 493 - Haile Selassie's mobile palace
« on: February 18, 2012, 01:34:45 AM »
A big motor home.

For one point, please respond and identify the owner of this motor home and the year it was built. If you can give me any details about its base, it could be worth an extra point.

Was it owned by a government agency, and used by a political figure?

Was this motor home used at motor racing events?

Sorry, I didn't notice your question. It was not owned by a government agency, but used (and owned) by a political figure.

Could this be the tour/travel vehicle used by Kruschev in the USSR?
