Presidents are arguably some of the luckiest people on earth when it comes to luxury. Although their job might also be one of the toughest and constantly under public scrutiny and criticism, the job also comes with its perk of providing 5-star services. See the classic cars used by 4 iconic African presidents

Always on the move from one place to the other, African presidents are chauffered in presidential convoys while they enjoy the expensive leather interior of the world’s best cars.

Despite having the privilege of being driven around wherever they find themselves, several African presidents also own very expensive cars that they themselves drive on unofficial duties.

In the past, several African presidents owned classic cars that they drove even on several official duties which soon became a part of their personalities and expressed their taste in the finer things in life.

Here are cars that some of the most iconic presidents drove while they were still alive.
