The chapel of rest must have been very near to the cemetery/crematorium! 29k miles only!

I drove limos similar for the last three years and they are not the most desirable things to drive. The longer wheelbase causes the tyres to scrub as the steering geometry was designed for a standard length. Speed bumps and any slight ramps on entrances etc., can cause grounding.

Recovery is a nightmare if you need it. I was told of one "chauffer" having to wait for hours until they located a "suitable" recovery vehicle. Not good if your engine is a non-runner in the middle of winter.

Black looks lovely but it's a pain to keep clean. It shows every little speck or smear.

Enjoy!!!

Id rather have the Cortina, at least the doors on that look properly put together, the rover one has had zero thought put into it.

Cool

If anyone requires further info on these 6 door 75's then the best person to ask is Roger Smith, forum name LimoRog, who owns at least one of them along with a 75 Hearse.
