In retail terms the pair are worth at least £6000,the Cossie in the hearse would put off anyone who's a vehicle man,but the average undertaker wouldn't realise the pitfalls,he would just keep replenishing the tank and putting it into the local main dealer for wiring,radiators,transmission troubles etc,then when the water pump leaks he would be faced with the garage trying to fit a 12 valve one because that is what the lists say ::)

Just noticed that the stretched limo has the electric rear seat recliners from the Granada.....

Probably used their stock of Granada seats when they built this one!!

Just noticed your post about the limo seats.It all looks standard to me,do you mean the folding occasionals ? they are Coleman Milne specials made to fit around the prop tunnel when folded.

I wonder what happened to them, I'd take the stretch for a reasonable price!...................Cash for taking some of the local tarts out on their hen nights! ;D

Gozz,

no I mean it has the rear seat recliners from a Granada (I retro fitted them into a few of my Cosworths over the years....)

If you look at the photo, it is the button at the base of the rear seat (looks like a Scorpio sunroof switch)

That is the switch for the rear seat passengers (one each side) to operate the electric division,there is another one in the centre of the partition for the people in the occasional seats.Immediately behind the rear seat back rests they fit a bloody great heater for the rear compartment,if the car is 'Grosvenor' spec,ie all singing and dancing,they fit an aircon unit on top of the heater,and if specified they fitted a car phone in the centre arm rest with the control unit jammed in behind the seat as well ! I had one with the aftermath of some sort of two way radio system also rammed in there,could have been an ex gov't fitting,I applied to DVLA for it's history,but there was a blank period with no keeper.
Seasons greetings to you and yours
All the best

I don't know what the outcome was,other than they didn't make the reserve.If you engender trade amongst the local lassies,keep in touch,I'm always turning my fleet over,replacement wise that is,not on their roofs 8)
