  • Seller has a copy of the car's registration showing Gorbachev's name, address, etc on it.
• Gorbachev's bodyguards told the previous owners that German Chancellor Kohl gave this car as a gift to Gorbachev as a thank you for his role in bringing down the Berlin Wall. There is no way to verify this information though.
