Video: Uruguay President's Beetle For Sale

Uruguay's president has revealed he was offered a million dollars for his blue 1987 Volkswagen Beetle.

The car has become a symbol of the Jose Mujica's austere lifestyle.

Mr Mujica, the man once nicknamed "the poorest president in the world", told a local publication that an Arab sheik had offered to pay $1m (£631,000) for the humble car.

The offer followed the Mexico's ambassador to Uruguay suggestion that Mr Mujica auction the Beetle in Mexico, predicting he could get 10 four-wheel-drive trucks for it.

Mr Mujica, who famously owns a three-legged dog, Manuela, said any money he received for the car would be donated to a programme he supports providing housing for the homeless.

The former leftist Tupamaro guerrilla leader said that if he bought trucks for it, they could go to Uruguay's public health office or his campaign workers.

The South American country's citizens have been amused by the idea.
