Not so sure about that, neighbour of mine works for a funeral directors and I have seen them driving some of the car's !!!!!

On the plus side, as a neighbour he is a great bloke, and can put a bereavement into perspective. I no many people have to deal with bereavement, but talk to undertakers, "out of the office" they are nice blokes, and some have great ways of cheering you up.

Beg to differ, it is true 8 seater car with what looks like 8 seat belts.
Most conversions like this seam to use the middle row of seats as occasional seats and don't have seat belts. The only other ones I have seen with proper seat belts are the six door Volvo's.
Most of the rest seam to only have 5 seat belts.
I wonder how the law views the use of occasional seats in limo's ? especially when they fall into private hands and used regularly.

agreed, it's also a bargain price in comparison to previous omega limo listings, from a money making point of view, could be profitable!

carlton cdx/senny wheels on it tho, not keen!
