Europe is correct, but not Germany.

I’m still suspecting the cars are historically significant...my initial guess would have been the Henry Ford Institute.

The cars themselves are not so historically important but their owner is (in his small part of the world), who got them as gifts from foreign governments.

Here is the location with the cars and the owner in the background

Adnan Kashoggi?

Pretty much the opposite.

Does not fit geographically, too (see above)

Can only be Greek Orthodox, relatively contemporary, I'm going to go for Archbishop Makarios, Cyprus.

And we have a winner! Excellent. Over to you.

On Makarios lll: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarios_III

The location is his former palace. 

The armoured Fleetwood was a gift from the US government.

Not having an Orthodox Archbishop up my sleeves, let alone any other sort, I'll have to revert to the mundane subject of cars.

I think the GS had a deeper panel below the glass (they needed room for the laughable spoiler on the only-vaguely-warmed-over variants.)

My father bought an early basic one as a stopgap and I remember at the dealers it was only offered in red, white or blue 🇫🇷. My father was intrigued by the bolt together panel system that allowed easy bodywork repairs, the hydropneumatic suspension and the fact that it still came with a starting handle!

I remember enjoying watching it “settle” like a sleeping dog when we got home (which my current S8 and previous A8s did too)
