Question 1307: Did you mean potato?

The first of this type of custom built vehicles was a 1964 Lehmann-Patterson. Today the purpose is served by a Mercedes M class or 600. Sometimes even a ML 430 is used.
The FSC Star is used in Poland, the Seat Panda in Spain, a Ford D series in Ireland and the Mercedes Benz 230G in Germany, all doing the same job.
All of them follow a colour code. Their performance is cut down considerably due to lack of aerodynamic give and addition of polycarbonate and thermoplastic among other things.
Give me the collective name for the vehicles.


Answer: Popemoblie, the Pope's car.
