Title: Omega Limo!
Post by: LouisCorney on 26 September 2006, 22:49:35
Seen it drive part my street a few times now, but finally got a pic of it today on my mobile. Soon as I work out how to get it on here I'll post it.

Can't figure out whether it is a limo or a hearse though  :-/

The MOD armoured cars used standard 2.0 16v blocks, so could be anything Mick!

We've got a few here in Newcastle that are used for funeral cars, all 3.2s.

I have seen a funeral company operating "stretched" Omegas.  Saab and Volvo also do them.  I am sure that other car manufactures also offer similar vehicles.

The company that has the omegas has the two types - one for the coffin and the other for the mourners.

The funeral directors happens to be next to the MOT station that I take my minibuses to.  As you have to wait an age lately for an MOT, there was plenty of time to have a good look!

Might use this company when I go! ;D
