I will bet my house that this is the top gear one.

Stretch limos
The presenters were sent out to buy normal cars that are available in Britain, then turn them into stretch limousines. Once the presenters had built their limos, they had to chauffeur three celebrities across London to the Brit Awards. Hammond chauffeured Jamelia in the MG F "Sports Limo," arriving with a stuck throttle. Clarkson chauffeured Chris Moyles using a greatly lengthened, dual rear axle Fiat Panda, arriving with only half a car after it split in two before reaching its destination.[nb 2] James May attempted to chauffeur Lemar in the "Salfa Romeaab" (a cross between an Alfa Romeo 164 and a Saab 9000); Lemar ultimately got frustrated and got out of the car after May repeatedly got lost. Clarkson claimed victory as he got one photograph of his celebrity published in a newspaper. However, as his co-presenters pointed out, the image appeared in Clarkson's own newspaper column in The Sun (to which he responded that they both also have newspaper columns that they could have used).

Sadly, it only drives from one end. Not sure if it can be steered from both though

Agree. Also, the numberplate illumination could have been done using little LEDS in the 'ledge' already in the standard bumper, so you don't need the plinth added. Also the rear reflectors could have been done more discreetly, perhaps inside one of the lamps.

Absolute genius, best Top Gear car ever. Not sure which end you class as the front and which end the rear, I guess the red reflectors would determine that?

And why not.

I think that it's a class job.
