Okay Twitter, what cars would historical figures have driven? I want good reasoning and descriptions please.

Henry VIII would drive an RV to keep his wives and syphilis-ridden body on the road. Dedicated deep-fryer and widened doorways. Horn would play Greensleaves.
Richard III would have any car as long as he could park it somewhere.

Catherine the Great would drive a VW Camper with enough room to fit three hippies in the back.

Nelson would drive the London Duck Tours bus.
Lorenzo di Medici would buy a Rolls Royce, make all the metal trim gold, and leave it in a garage.

Shaka would drive a rally bike with a camouflage chassis.

Genghis Khan would tie an armchair to a horsebox and charge down the M11.

Bolívar would drive an open-top Popemobile.
Lewis and Clark would go for the motorbike and sidecar option. Sacagawea would be towing them a lot.

Trajan would drive a Dacia, ironically.

Charles Darwin would have a old Morris Minor with bird shit all over it.

Pachacuti didn't want to drive but decided on a Range Rover.
Emperor Meiji owned a Suzuki Swift which he accidentally drove into Tokyo harbour, so he bought a Ford Escort in later life.

Frederick Barbarossa drove a Hummer to Turkey but had to call the RAC when he got stuck in a river.

Louis XIV of France has a pink Peugeot 504.
Suleiman the Magnificent has a white E-type Jaguar with mahogany interior. Only good for showing off.

Michael Collins would drive anything as long as it wasn't made in Britain.

Isabella of Spain would drive a SEAT Ibiza with the boot converted into a confessional booth.
Thomas Hobbes would drive a combine harvester everywhere because he's just a dick.

Songhai would drive a converted landing craft with fluffy dice on the mirrors.

Henry Ford didn't pass his test.

Martin Luther had a Fiat but found it too uncomfortable to drive.
Bonnie Prince Charlie would drive a flatbed lorry for his pipers to sit on as he launched into traffic.

Gajah Mada of Indonesia would have a tuk-tuk with dodgy brakes.

Lincoln would drive a Luton van so he could wear his stovepipe hats whilst on the road.
Well I enjoyed this at least.
