RGM 1963: Mugabe's Ford comes home

So, Zimbabwean president Robert Gabriel Mugabe was presented with a 1955 Ford Zephyr, which he apparently owned from 1963, as a gift during his 91^st birthday bash last week.

According to reports the black Zephyr (now with personalised number plates RGM 1963) was Mugabe’s first car, though half of Zimbabwe’s media wrongly identified as a Ford Montero) was procured by the Friends of Joshua Trust working with the Zanu-PF Youth League.

It was bought from a vintage car collector in South Africa for $12 000 (about R145 000).
