Post by: david036 on 24 January 2011, 22:46:42

Thinking of something different, not stupid money,
NOT:
Morris Minors
MG Midgets

Ideas and suggestions welcome!!

I'd look for a XJ6, either a X300 series or earliest Series 1 or 2 you can find.  RR Silver Spirits are going for sheckles right now although maintenance on them can be horrific and they can rust in fast-forward mode.  Range Rover Classics can be found for nice sums too and they don't lose much on resale either if they're looked after.

A pre-1970 VW Beetle, with torsion bar suspension. Just so much fun. :y

There`s a 'sheep' connection here; the word Limousine comes from the similarity of the leather roof-hood on old chauffeur-driven cars, to that of the hooded cloaks worn be shepherd`s in the Limousin region of France. ;)

Technically; the car bearing the deceased to a funeral is a hearse......the black limousine`s carry the mourners. :y

What you're calling a limo is actually a 'stretched saloon'' according to the V5. Daimlers' DS420 was the last British car to have limousine on the V5
