In the five years between 2004 and 2008 the government incurred just under €20,000 in maintenance costs on the car of then-Investments Minister Austin Gatt.
Answering a parliamentary question by Anthony Agius Decelis (PL), Dr Gatt himself said that the car had been purchased in 1999 for his sole personal use. The car's maintenance cost €2,502 in 2004, €8,318 in 2005, €2,022 in 2006, €4,611 in 2007 and €2,466 this year.
