Pope in driving seat with 20-year-old Renault

Pope Francis no longer has to be chauffeured in popemobiles but can drive around the Vatican himself after a 70-year-old priest gave him his old Renault 4.

The white car is nearly 20 years old and has 170,000 miles (300,000km kilometres) on the clock.

It was presented to Francis by Renzo Zocca, and a pleased-looking pontiff was snapped by an AFP photographer before he got in behind the wheel and drove away.
