Russian Oligarch Car for sale

A unique car is for sale on one of the Russian classifieds websites. As the story goes the car was custom made for a famous rich person who died three months before the car was delivered to him.

In fact this was a Toyota Crown, but it is so heavily modified you can’t recognize it anymore.

The whole body is covered by Canadian buffalo leather, and inside there is Siberian weasel leather. Also sable fur is used to trim the seats. It’s being said that the sable fur is the most expensive fur in the world.

The car was named “Amulet”

According to the owner it had to have magic power to protect him. However it didn’t happen.

The price tag is 13,8 million rubles which is roughly $240,000.

So THAT’S where Adolph got to!

And here I thought those rumors of the Russkies capturing him alive were just fable!

I thought Mr. Hilter was living in England, last I checked.

I certainly hope the exhaust manifold and turbo aren’t leather trimmed!

I’d say the guy had a leather fetish...

Buys saddle soap by the bucket.
