Title: Limo
Post by adam on Nov 20^th, 2012, 10:34pm

Saw this on Gumtree in N.I. Never seen one before, http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/ford-scorpio-limousine-for-parts/1003260921

Well i thought i like this. I am going to buy it. So rang and appears to be not for me. First it's a diesel 2.5 manual. No SVA. Hence, they are selling for spares.

He is selling for £1000 complete. If it was a petrol & auto, I would have bought it and taken a punt.

So, anyone fancy it?

Here is some info on SVA, http://www.limohirelondon.org/limo_guide.html
may need a model report? Also, classification on number of seats 8 or 8+.
Also, further legislation if for hire and reward.

Adam.
That limo could be a one off,hence you won't have seen another ;) almost certainly it's not British built,could be Irish or continental,the design is outrageous and impractical,too low in the roof,much too long in the body and like the Yank idiom is a pure cut and shut with the two original saloon doors over the rear wheel arches to struggle through,no doubt it has a 'J' seat along one side and across the front in addition to the original rear seat.
I reckon the gods were smiling on you,to get saddled with an animal like that would bring a mighty rod across your back :o
GOZZ.
