cdnvic Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Mercedes Benz limousine said to belong to late Cambodian tyrant Pol Pot for sale on eBay The Associated Press Sunday, October 28, 2007 PHNOM PENH, Cambodia: Car collectors with macabre tastes and at least 35,000 British pounds (US$71,800; €49,900) to spare now have a chance to own a limousine reportedly used by Pol Pot, the late chief of Cambodia's notorious Khmer Rouge. "For sale — one classic 1973 Mercedes Benz stretch limousine ... previously used by one infamous owner Pol Pot, who led the Khmer Rouge during its genocidal regime in Cambodia from 1975-1979," reads a listing on the online auction site eBay. The car, reportedly purchased in 2001 by the current owner, who used it "for Sunday drives around Phnom Penh and the outskirts," had attracted one bidder by Sunday afternoon, with bidding due to end Tuesday. The seller is apparently an expatriate British banker, Paul Freer, who bought the car when he lived in Phnom Penh, but moved to neighboring Laos a year ago. He could not immediately be reached for comment. Whether the vehicle was actually used by Pol Pot could not be independently confirmed.

cdnvic Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 I wonder what going back to "Year Zero" and being driven about in a Mercedes had to do with each other? Typical communist hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
