Pope Francis gets a 1984 Renault 4L

By ,

Loved for his frugal ways, Pope Francis recently took delivery of a used 1984 Renault 4L with more than 300,000 kilometres on the clock. It's a gift from Rev. Renzo Rocca, who used it for 25 years to serve the poor and sick in Verona.

Pope Francis, who once owned a Renault back in his native Argentina, personally called Rocca to thank him. He's already taken the white beater for a spin.

Despite having a number of service vehicles in his garage, Pope Francis prefers to ride in a minibus around the Vatican.
