Somehow I don't think this doesn't have quite the same 'presence' as a stretch Cadillac, or even a Lincoln Town Car,

There's even a Funeral Director a few miles away with one of the Lincolns. Shame on him.

A friend of mine (Matthew Reeve) has a 130" Range Rover... now that is a proper stretched vehicle :-)


(The picture doesn't really do it justice... but it's a nice motor to be in :-) )

that rangie pic looks a little dodgy

follow the line on the side of the bodywork to the back and its not straight

neither is the shade of the front 2/3's of the body compared to the bit behind the 2nd door...

or are my tired eyes playing games?

I promise you it's no fake.  As I say, the image doesn't really do it justice.

300 Tdi Auto, stretched to 130.  The front doors are 2dr type, the rears are a hybrid of 2/4 dr.

I know it's real, because I did the graphics for him :-)  That and the fact that I supplied some of the body panels that were used during the conversion.  ;-)
