Mileage is very low. But the price is a bit of a........
Stretch. (Sorry)

[STEMO]

MOT is low as well......none.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Exactly what would you do with a stretched black Omega?

Too old and unreliable as a funeral car. Too low rent for a girlie hen night.

Exactly what would you do with a stretched black Omega?

Put it on eBay as spares and repairs?

How much would the 'middle section' be worth?......

that "3.2 L ,214.6  bhp, 149  mph engine looks a little on the small side too 
looks more like the 2198 cc engine that it says it is on tax inquiry

Always fancied the idea of a stretched Senator or an Omega hearse but neither would fit in the lock up and it might be a bit dodgy parking a hearse on our street where at 65yrs old I'm the youngster

Which is exactly what others of this type being advertised in the past have been powered by.

The "5 seats" is strange as well, along with the "4 doors" which the apparent seller claims should read 7!  Something wrong here.  Is this actually a hearse?

I certainly would not touch it for any money!

He,s had is so loooooong he,s forgotten the engine size.

Listing clearly states 3.2l.....that's no V6 more like a 2.0 or 2.2 judging by the cam cover

[Doctor Gollum]

2.2 from the age... And from the reg, one that was built properly by a firm near Beaconsfield/High Wycombe whose name escapes me

Technically, the conversions/specials were available with any engine in the range, same as Ambulance and Plod.

I believe it is a stretched limo, not a hearse, ....   6 doors, 3 rows of seats, ( 7 seats plus driver) and a boot .. 

so, linked with the numerous other errors, the guy appears to not know what he is selling .... touch not with a bargepole IMHO ..

But the seller claims it has 7 doors, not the 4 stated in the screed

Limos are built to different specs for different jobs; bridal and ceremonial cars tend to retain just two doors per side with folding seats at the front of the passenger compartment and funeral cars will have three doors and three rows of seats. Those are the differences between Colman Milne's Dorchester and Grosvenor stretched Fords.


At £700 that car would be a laugh. I parked my Grosvenor(mk2 Granada) in the street outside the house; they're not that big.

Could be a nice little earner ,
buy a cheap flatbed transit too (hearse for the coffins)
sounds like you'd have plenty of trade ,on your street

All you have to do is look at the pictures and count ......   

So .. he has got the engine wrong, the number of doors wrong, the number of seats wrong, its taxed but not MOTd (strange waste of money ??) He says the MOT expired in September .. but it was in July (18th to be exact) and its only done 800 miles (photo milage - last MOT) in the past 18 months ....

I wonder what else is "incorrect" ....
