I wonder what provoked this question - perhaps there will be an enlightening follow-up question.
It would be interesting to know where all the 'as-new, previously-owned' vehicles go when they are too old to reflect the proper dignity of the ministers. Auctioned, but then where? Do the former users get privileged purchase deals?
