Worldwide interest has been generated by a popemobile which has been put up for auction in Dumfries.

The armour-plated vehicle was used to transport Pope John Paul II during his visit to Scotland in 1982.

I was thinking it was probably driven by electricity - like those mobility scooters.

Nope it was a converted Range Rover.

When I say converted it used to be C of E.

No it failed its MOT. It didn't have a Catholic converter.

Actually, I see it isn't the Range Rover one they once used.

The 24-ton converted truck - said to be both bomb-proof and bullet-proof - sold for £37,000 ($70,500) at auction in Scotland to a man from Ireland. ]

When asked for a quote upon buying, Father Jack replied "That would be an ecumenical matter."
